Umroli (the small sized font station)

Umroli is a station near Palghar. You can see the name of this station if you look up the route map inside any Western Railway EMU local train (above the doors). What is significant is this is written in smaller size. It maybe due to the fact that it was overlooked and was a last min. addition and hence to be accommodated into the layout, it was written in a smaller size. Another reason may be that its not really a station where the locals stop. The picture alongside is of a WCAM-1 thats hauling the Flying towards Bombay. Its taken at Umroli and you can see the station board on the 'platform' thats not even elevated. It resembles one of the countless 'road-side' stations all over India. It gives a feel of what India is all about. And the place is just outside Bombay.

By the way if any one has further information on Umroli and the reason for the small sized fonts used to describe it on the route map inside local trains, then please do comment.
