A picture from the sea side of the olden day's Mumbai - Here one can see the Railway Headquarters (next to Churchgate at present) on the left, the high court in the middle and Mumbai University (Rajabai Tower to the right).
Notice the steam hauled passenger train in the right bottom corner. In those days the trains used to go up to Colaba and the line used be hugging the coastline. (R Harish Kumar)

The reason that the line could be hugging the coast line in those days was that the Backbay Reclamation work had not commenced. The line from Churchgate to Colaba was closed to enable the grand reclamation project to be carried out. The rest is history.
