'''Kasara''' (station code: '''KSRA'''/'''N''' for ''North'' ([[Mumbai Suburban Railway|local]])) is a railway station on the [[Central Line (Mumbai Suburban Railway)|Central line]] of the [[Mumbai Suburban Railway]] network. It is the final stop in the north-east sector of the Central Line.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Kasara was called ''Kassarah'' during the [[British Raj]]. For outstation trains, it is a technical halt, where bankers (generally [[Indian locomotive class WAG-5|WAG-5]] or [[Indian locomotive class WAG-7|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&nbsp;Hz system.<br />
<br />
== Services ==<br />
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.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://transportformumbai.com/get_pdf.php?user_route=central&start_station=mumbai_cst&end_station=kasara&start_time=0:00:00&end_time=24:00:00|title=Train Time Table Between mumbai_cst and kasara(12:00 am to 1:00 am)|website=Transport for Mumbai|access-date=2 June 2018}}</ref><br />
