Through a token allocation of Rs 1,000 the railways' budget pink book has managed to keep alive Railway Minister Piyush Goyal's pet project of converting the UNESCO-listed Mumbai CSMT building into a world-class museum. This is the first time that the R25-crore project has got some allocation since it was announced two years back. Apart from this, R550 crore has been earmarked for Mumbai upgrade projects, R28 crore less than last year.

Funds have also been allocated for the bullet train, a new terminus at Jogeshwari station and for increasing the speed of the existing Mumbai-Ahmedabad trains.
