Turning Scrap into Legacy: Western Railway’s Coach Care Depot, Mumbai Central Celebrates ‘Swachhata Hi Seva 2025’

Mumbai, September 23: In an exceptional blend of sustainability and creativity, the Coach Care Depot at Mumbai Central has taken a bold step towards promoting environmental awareness under the Government of India’s “Swachhata Hi Seva 2025” campaign. The team at the depot has created a striking model of a locomotive, entirely crafted from scrap and discarded materials.

As shared in a press release by Shri Vineet Abhishek, Chief Public Relations Officer of Western Railway, the initiative reflects the extraordinary innovation, craftsmanship, and commitment to sustainability demonstrated by the Mumbai Central team. This symbolic representation not only promotes the core values of “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” but also reinforces the message that waste, when handled creatively, can be transformed into something inspiring and lasting.

The locomotive model now proudly adorns the Coach Care Centre premises, standing as a powerful reminder that every effort toward cleanliness and recycling contributes meaningfully to nation-building. The initiative has received appreciation from across departments and serves as a motivating example of how environmental consciousness and innovation can go hand-in-hand.

This endeavor showcases the ability of Indian Railways to combine function, creativity, and eco-consciousness in meaningful ways. By turning scrap into legacy, the Mumbai Central team has not only participated in the national Swachhata movement but also elevated it to a level that inspires and educates.
