With technological advancements in signalling and traction, old lever-frame signal boxes are fast vanishing from the railways in Mumbai. These are vital railway heritage relics of Mumbai. Here are the remains of the old Dadar South Cabin.

Only a handful of lever-frame signal boxes remain along the running lines today, though a few functional ones continue to slog along some lesser-known sidings and railway yards. Hand-operated levers can still be found at yards like CST, Dadar, Kalyan, Bandra and also along the old stretches of the port trust line.
It is deeply unfortunate and regrettable to learn that we are losing a sad part of our heritage this way. I wonder whether if these things will even exist so that we can boast about for posterity. It's sad if heritage remains just a word in the dictionary.
