The Trans-Harbour line is a branch of the Mumbai Suburban Railway's Harbour line that connects Navi Mumbai and Thane and is operated by the Central Railway. Its termini include Thane, Vashi, and Panvel on the Thane–Vashi and Thane–Panvel routes. Thane is the common terminus for both the routes.

This line is a double track and does not have any fast trains. It starts from separate platforms (numbers 9 and 10) located at the far east in Thane and runs parallel to the Main line, crossing over Thane Creek until just before the Parsik Tunnel. Here, the line turns southwards and continues until Koparkhairane. At Turbhe, the line branches into two, both running parallel to the Harbour line. The first line joins at Sanpada and terminates at Vashi, while the second line joins at Juinagar and terminates at Panvel.

The stations on the Navi Mumbai side of the Trans-Harbour line were designed by CIDCO. Some IT, corporate, and commercial offices, along with shopping malls, are located above some of these railway stations.

As of December 2021, 252 services operate on the Trans-Harbour line in both directions.[1] A total of 12 EMU Rakes ply on this line.
