"Under the Railways Act, we can acquire land, but it is a time-consuming process and will cost an astronomical sum, which could make the project unviable," said official from Central Railway.Earlier a decade ago, Central Line proposed an alternative alignment for the Harbour Line from Dockyard Road over the Eastern Freeway. The purpose was to free up space at both Masjid and Sandhurst Road for the exclusive use of the fifth and sixth lines from Kurla to CSMT."This plan also required land from Mumbai Port Trust, which did not show a keen interest in the proposal. Additionally, MMRDA had a plan to extend its Metro 4 corridor between Wadala and Thane to CSMT via PD'Mello Road, leading to discussions about avoiding a duplication of railway lines," a CR official said to TOI.
