Mumbai's Dadar area hosts two distinct railway stations: Dadar Central (DR) and Dadar Western (DDR). Both stations serve different railway zones: DR belongs to the Central Railwaywhile DDR is part of the Western Railway. Despite their proximity, they operate independently with separate station masters and staff.
DR handles trains on the Central Line, and DDR caters to the Western Line. This setup ensures efficient management and smoother operations for the bustling suburban network. Understanding the distinction helps passengers navigate Mumbai's extensive rail system more effectively.

With shifts often stretching up to 12 hours, their role demands unwavering focus, quick decision-making, and an in- depth understanding of the machinery. Every journey they undertake is a testament to their skill and dedication, ensuring the safe and timely arrival of passengers and goods.
