Santacruz railway station (station code: STC) is on the Western Line and Harbour Line of Mumbai Suburban Railway, in Maharashtra, India. The station began operations in October 1888. [1] The neighbourhood is Santacruz.
Although Santacruz station was formally opened in 1888, it was a stop on the first regular suburban train service of the BB&CI railway (today's Western Railway), which began from 12 April 1867, between Bombay Backbay and Viraur. [2] Before this, during the Backbay Reclamation scheme of the 1860s, BB&CI was contracted to supply ballast. This would be brought in from Santacruz. [3]
During a move to improve safety and efficiency along the line, power barrier gates were installed for the first time at Santacruz level crossing in December 1952. [4]
