Work was rapid, and April 16, 1853, saw the first train in India travel down 21 miles [34 km] of track from the dock area known as Bori Bunder in Bombay (now Mumbai) to the town of Thāne.
Darbs ātri virzījās uz priekšu, un 1853. gada 16. aprīlī pirmais Indijas vilciens devās 34 kilometru garā ceļā no Bombejas doku rajona, ko dēvē par Boribanderu, uz Tanas pilsētu.
