'''Masjid''' (sometimes called ''Masjid Bunder'') is a railway station on the Central line of the Mumbai_Suburban_Railway. It is the penultimate stop for all trains on the Central line in the "Up" direction. Contrary to popular belief, the station is not named after a masjid (mosque) but a Synagogue, the 200-year old Gate_of_Mercy_Synagogue near a once thriving Jewish neighbourhood, popularly known as ''Juni Masjid'' by locals.{{ref|name}} The volume of passengers on this station is very high due to different wholesale markets surrounding this station. These markets are referred as bazaars. Stockists from Reay_Road iron market (lokhand bazaar) make trades of millions of rupees in the market near this station. The south end towards CST gives access to Yousuf Mehar Ali Road, Jama Masjid, Kalbadevi, Crawford_Market, Mandvi and surrounding area. Masjid is prominent since it is close to the docks from where ships taking Indian pilgrims to the annual Hajj set sail. ==References== #{{note|name}} ''Star Track''; ''Times_of_India'' Mumbai; pg-2; 2006-04-21 {{Mumbai - Suburban Railway,Central|Masjid Bunder|Central|Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus|Sandhurst Road|2|?|1}} {{Mumbai_-_Suburban_Railway,Central_-_Harbour|Masjid Bunder|Central|Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus|Sandhurst Road|2|?|1}}
