Motormen on Central Railway in Mumbai are now undergoing virtual reality training to enhance their skills in locomotive and EMU local train operation. The initiative aims to provide hands-on practical training, moving beyond traditional classroom-based instruction.

According to a spokesperson from Central Railway, “With the rapid advancements in technology, there arose a compelling need to integrate these state-of-the-art tools into the railway system to yield superior results.” The virtual reality system is currently installed at the CSMT Suburban Motormen lobby and will soon be extended to other suburban crew lobbies across the Mumbai Division.
