Western Railway (WR) has successfully switched Dadar station’s signalling system from a 34-year-old conventional panel interlocking setup to a modern digital system. The commissioning marks a major milestone in the modernisation of Mumbai’s suburban railway network.
Dadar station was earlier operating on a panel interlocking system installed in 1992, which has now been fully replaced by an advanced electronic system.
