Parsik tunnel

Built in 1873, the Parsik tunnel is one of the oldest and longest rail tunnels in the country, but over the years it has become a bane for the Central Railway (CR). Following a massive rise in the number of commuters between Dombivli and Thane on the slow line, passenger associations have submitted a proposal to CR authorities to build a station on Parsik Hill, which lies on the Mumbai-Kalyan mainline.
