The mysterious RVJ

This one must stump the staunchest Mumbaikars or other people who know Mumbai well. Where is the station whose code is RVJ? Or have you heard of a station called "Raoli Junction"?

The closest that I'd heard is a place called "Raoli" (which is supposed to be some place near Antop Hill and GTB Nagar). Now, the thing is that all signal posts in an around VDLR (Wadala Road) are controlled through this RVJ. Maybe it is some station on the private Mumbai port trust railway line. Maybe...maybe not.

Well, it's not a station although the Harbour line map says it's station. Geographically, it's supposed to be between Antop Hill and Wadala. If you notice more closely, the railway bridge that comes from the Kings' Circle end towards Wadala, the cabin is right there. It's basically meant to control the movement of WCAG-1 locomotives and the changing of the Panvel-Andheri trains
