History
Although Santacruz station was formally opened in 1888, it was a stop on the first regular suburban train service of the BB&CI railway (today's Western Railway), which began on 12 April 1867, between Bombay Backbay and Viraur.[2] Before this, during the Backbay Reclamation scheme of the 1860s, BB&CI was contracted to supply ballast. This would be brought in from Santacruz.[3]
During a move to improve safety and efficiency along the line, power barrier gates were installed for the first time at the Santacruz level crossing in December 1952.[4]
