It was from here that first passenger train of the subcontinent ran to {{rws|Thane}} in 1853. This station was rebuilt as Victoria Terminus later in 1888. ConstructionBuilt by the Great Indian Peninsular Railway, this railway station takes its name from the nearby locality, Bori Bunder. On 16 April 1853, the Great Indian Peninsula Railway operated the first passenger train in India from Bori Bunder to {{rws|Thane}} with 14 carriages and 400 passengers. The train which had three named locomotives, viz., Sindh, Sultan and Sahib, took off and embarked on an hour-and-fifteen-minute journey to {{rws|Thane}}.[1] The journey covered a distance of {{convert|24|mi}}, formally heralding the birth of the Indian Railways.[2] ReconstructionThe station was eventually rebuilt as the Victoria Terminus, in 1888, named after the then reigning Queen Victoria, and has been subsequently renamed {{rws|Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus}} (CSTM) after Maharashtra's famed 17th-century king, Chhatrapati Shivaji.[3] See also{{portal|Railways in India|Mumbai}}
