Kasara (station code: KSRA/N for North (local)) is a railway station on the Central line of the Mumbai Suburban Railway network. It is the final stop in the north-east sector of the Central Line.

Background[]

Kasara was called Kassarah during the British Raj. For outstation trains, it is a technical halt, where bankers (generally WAG-5 or WAG-7) are attached behind the trains to enable it to cross the tough and high gradient Kasara Ghat. Earlier the station was electrified with a DC 1.5 kV traction system, but on 19 February 2006, it was changed to an AC 25 kV 50 Hz system.

Services[]

It takes up to 162 minutes for slow local suburban trains to reach Kasara from Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus whereas the fast locals take 136 mins.^[1]

Connections[]

MSRTC BUS and Shared taxis to Nasik Road, Jawahar, Mokhada, Rajur, and Akole are also available from the station.
