The first train run by the Central Railway
editI was taking a look at the article until I noticed that in the Mumbai Suburban Railway#History section of the page, it was written that "The first train was run by the Great Indian Peninsula Railway (now Central Railway) between Bori Bunder (now Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus) and Thane, a distance of 34 km (21 mi), on 16 April 1853 at 15:35. The 14-coach train took 1.25 hr to complete the 34 km (21 mi) journey, with a halt at Bhandup to refill the train's water tanks."
However, the citation which was given at the end of the line led to this website: http://www.dnaindia.com/mumbai/report_central-railway-puts-15-car-locals-on-track_1753241, which stated that the train took "57 minutes" to complete the "32" km journey to Thane, with a halt at "Sion" to take in the water.
I assumed that it was just a mistake and corrected the article, but after doing further research online, various sources show different distances between Bori Bunder and Thane, different times it took to travel from Bori Bunder & Thane and different stops where the water tank was filled.
Wikipedia should always have right information, which is why I am asking this: Which source should Wikipedia trust?
