==History==
The original Dadar railway station of the [[Great Indian Peninsula Railway|GIP Railway]] (today's [[Central Railway zone|Central Railway]]) was inaugurated sometime between August and October 1853 as Mahim Rd railway station. It was renamed as Dadar on "1 October 1856"<ref>{{Cite web |title=[IRFCA] CR Mumbai Timeline of Suburban Stations |url=https://www.irfca.org/docs/mumbai-cr-suburban-timeline.html |access-date=2025-06-08 |website=www.irfca.org}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=RAILWAYS OF THE RAJ: History of Railways from Bombay to rest of India |url=https://railwaysofraj.blogspot.com/2010/09/history-of-railways-from-bombay-to-rest_20.html |access-date=2023-11-01 |website=RAILWAYS OF THE RAJ}}</ref> Regular services to the station began in the same year on the GIPR line. A station named 'Dadur' existed on the first suburban train service of the erstwhile [[Bombay, Baroda and Central India Railway|BB&CI Railway]] (today's [[Western Railway zone|Western Railway]]), when it began the service on 12 April 1867 (between [[Bombay Backbay railway station|Bombay Backbay]] and [[Virar railway station|Viraur]]), suggesting the WR side station was established sometime in the 1860s.
On 1 January 1885, the BB&CIR and the GIPR signed an agreement that allowed the interchange of coaches and goods stock. The agreement provided each railway the privilege to use the others tracks via Dadur.  BB&CIR was permitted to send its goods trains to Carnac Bunder on the GIPR side, while GIPR could use the [[Colaba railway station|Colaba Terminus station]]. Further it agreed that in the event of public interest, a local passenger train service should be commenced between GIPR's [[Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus|Victoria Terminus]], and BB&CIR's [[Bandra railway station|Bandra station]], via the Dadur Junction.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Edwards |first=S.

The station was among the first (along with Currey Road) to receive colour light signalling in 1920.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Aklekar |first=Rajendra B. |title=Halt Station India: The Dramatic Tale of the Nation's First Rail Lines |year=2014 |publisher=Rupa Publications |isbn=978-81-291-3497-4 |pages=100 |language=English}}</ref>
The Tilak bridge that spans over both the Western and Central lines was completed in August 1925, after 8 years of construction. It was named so after Independence. It was built to replace an old level crossing situated a quarter mile south of its present location.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Rahul Mehrotra |first=Sharada Dwivedi |title=Anchoring A City Line |publisher=Eminence Designs Pvt.

The Dadar through cabin was converted to colour signalling in February 1936, following similar endeavours around the stations like Mahim, Bandra, among others.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Rahul Mehrotra |first=Sharada Dwivedi |title=Anchoring A City Line |publisher=Eminence Designs Pvt.

On 10 August 1942, a large crowd gathered outside the station. This happened in the backdrop  of the call for [[Quit India]] announced a few days back in Bombay, as well as the arrest of important leaders. The crowds barged into the station platforms, and people began greasing the rail tracks, and placing obstacles on them, to stop rail traffic. A police firing ensued, and several people were injured and killed.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Rahul Mehrotra |first=Sharada Dwivedi |title=Anchoring A City Line |publisher=Eminence Designs Pvt.

The express train terminus on Central line side was constructed and opened on 1968.<ref>{{cite web |title=IRFCA History Part 4 |url=https://www.irfca.org/faq/faq-history4.html |website=IRFCA}}</ref>
During the [[India–Pakistan war of 1971]] a Jawan Canteen was established in the station to serve Indian soldiers. The Canteen was conducted by Wadala Junior Chambers (Founder- Gangaram Joshi), under the guidance of [[Nanik Rupani]], who was the President at that time.<ref>{{cite news |last=Haidar |first=Suhasini |date=8 April 2017 |title=The long healing of 1971 |work=The Hindu |url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/international/the-long-healing-of-1971/article17874134.ece}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last=Taggar |first=Rajinder |date=October 10, 2016 |title=India, Pakistan not telling truth: Dayal Singh |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chandigarh/India-Pakistan-not-telling-truth-Dayal-Singh/articleshow/54785778.cms |work=The Times of India |agency=TNN}}</ref> Trains began terminating and departing from Dadar from May 1974.

Dadar railway station is a major interchange railway stations on the Western Line of Mumbai Suburban Railway. It serves the Dadar area in Mumbai, India.

This railway station lies on both the Central line named as Dadar Central with station code DR and Western line named as Dadar Western with station code DDR. It is also a terminal for Mumbai Suburban Railway as well as Indian Railways.[2]

Two roads are passes through parallel in the vicinity of Dadar railway station which is Senapati Bapat Marg on the Westside and Lakhamsi Nappu Road on the Eastside.

History[edit | edit source]

The original Dadar railway station of the GIP Railway (today's Central Railway) was inaugurated sometime between August and October 1853 as Mahim Rd railway station. It was renamed as Dadar on "1 October 1856"[3][4] Regular services to the station began in the same year on the GIPR line. A station named 'Dadur' existed on the first suburban train service of the erstwhile BB&CI Railway (today's Western Railway), when it began the service on 12 April 1867 (between Bombay Backbay and Viraur), suggesting the WR side station was established sometime in the 1860s.

On 1 January 1885, the BB&CIR and the GIPR signed an agreement that allowed the interchange of coaches and goods stock. The agreement provided each railway the privilege to use the others tracks via Dadur. BB&CIR was permitted to send its goods trains to Carnac Bunder on the GIPR side, while GIPR could use the Colaba Terminus station. Further it agreed that in the event of public interest, a local passenger train service should be commenced between GIPR's Victoria Terminus, and BB&CIR's Bandra station, via the Dadur Junction.[5]

The station was among the first (along with Currey Road) to receive colour light signalling in 1920.[6]

The Tilak bridge that spans over both the Western and Central lines was completed in August 1925, after 8 years of construction. It was named so after Independence. It was built to replace an old level crossing situated a quarter mile south of its present location.[7]

The Dadar through cabin was converted to colour signalling in February 1936, following similar endeavours around the stations like Mahim, Bandra, among others.[8]

On 10 August 1942, a large crowd gathered outside the station. This happened in the backdrop of the call for Quit India announced a few days back in Bombay, as well as the arrest of important leaders. The crowds barged into the station platforms, and people began greasing the rail tracks, and placing obstacles on them, to stop rail traffic. A police firing ensued, and several people were injured and killed.[9]

The express train terminus on Central line side was constructed and opened on 1968.[10]

During the India–Pakistan war of 1971 a Jawan Canteen was established in the station to serve Indian soldiers. The Canteen was conducted by Wadala Junior Chambers (Founder- Gangaram Joshi), under the guidance of Nanik Rupani, who was the President at that time.[11][12] Trains began terminating and departing from Dadar from May 1974.

After decades, in 2009, the Midtown terminus of Dadar Western side was inaugurated for increasing more trains on the suburban route and long-distance route for decreasing a load of passengers.[13] And the side elevated road which is parallel to Midtown Terminus connects to Tilak Bridge for direct taxis' and another vehicles' movement, was inaugurated in 2014. The cost for construction was ₹30 crore (US$4.2 million).[14]

Structure[edit | edit source]

Dadar railway station has 14 platforms, In that, 7 platforms consist of the Western side which is two platforms of the slow suburban route, three platforms of the fast suburban route and the last two platforms are the terminus of the Suburban and Long Distance trains which are also known as Dadar Midtown Terminus.[15][16]

The remaining 7 platforms consist of the Central line, which is of two platforms on the slow suburban route, three platforms are on the fast suburban route with middle-fast suburban terminal, and the last two platforms are the terminus of long-distance trains which is also known as Dadar Central Terminus or Dadar Terminus.

This railway station is well connected with multiple walk ways and bridges for easier access of passengers crossing on either side.[17]
