Mumbai: A suburban train derailed at Kalyan Station in Thane district, nearly 60 kilometeres from Mumbai of Friday. The incident took place when the train was about to enter the station. Since the train was about to halt at the platform, it was moving at a slow speed. Therefore, no severe damage took place. Officials also confirmed that no person was injured during the incident. However, several other trains running on the same route were affected. At around 9 pm, the Titwala-CSMT train derailed on platform number 2 that led to disruptions on the mainline, said an official. "There is no report of injury to anyone. The rear coach derailed when the train was at slow speed since it was about to halt at platform number 2," Central Railway chief public relations officer Swapnil Nila said. Meanwhile, CR's Mumbai division DRM also issued an statement at X, formerly Twitter. He said, "Due to a technical issue, mainline services are running behind schedule. Inconvenience is regretted." It should be noted that Kalyan is one of the busiest railway junction in the Central Railway network. It hosts several suburban and long distance trains.
In a similar incident on Sunday, a train had derailed just outside the EMU Carshed at Mumbai Central station under the Western Railway (WR). The disruption led to the cancellation of several suburban trains since the down slow line was infringed by the derailed coaches.You may also like
