The Parsik Tunnel is a 1.3 km rail tunnel under the Parsik Hill between Thane and Diva stations on the Central Railway. It is a double track tunnel and only the fast tracks run through it. The slow tracks skirt around the mountain on a slightly longer route.
Most of the time, due to signals and other trains ahead, trains slow down while passing through this tunnel. Some of them even crawl all the way through. However the last time I went, I was very lucky and got a full speed run through the tunnel, in both directions.
When I was going towards Kalyan and returning towards Mumbai CST, in both directions my train sped through the tunnel. While going it took 49 seconds from end to end and while returning it took 55 seconds.
The wind blowing in the tunnel was so much that it was difficult to hold the camera steady, and my main concentration was to make sure I was steady in the train.
