Officials from Central Railway (CR) and Western Railway (WR) presented some astounding facts about the suburban train system to the Railway Board members last week in a meeting. For instance, the total distance covered by all local trains on both WR and CR is almost thrice the circumference of the earth.

On the Main line, CR operates 45,220 km with 75 rakes, while WR covers 44,429 train km with 83 rakes. File pic for representation
