| Major Rail Disruption Unfolds as Shunting Engine Derails Near Mazgaon Yard |
In a surprising turn of events, chaos ensued near Mazgaon yard at 12:43 hrs as one wheel of a shunting engine derailed, causing a significant disturbance in the UP Fast line traffic between Byculla to CSMT. The repercussions of this incident have rippled across various train routes, leaving commuters stranded and several services delayed.
At the forefront of the standstill is the 22731 Hyderabad-CSMT Express, currently held up near Mazgaon. Additionally, the -22222 Nizamuddin-CSMT Rajdhani Express is stuck near Parel, while the Kalyan-CSMT UP Fast local with 15 cars is immobilized at Byculla PF No. 4.
The disruption in UP Fast line traffic has prompted railway authorities to implement diversions, redirecting trains from UP Fast line to UP Slow line. Engine re-railment efforts are actively underway to normalize the traffic flow, but the impact on the daily commute remains palpable.
Suburban local trains, in particular, are operating with diversions from UP Fast line to UP Slow line, further complicating the travel plans of countless passengers. As this situation develops, commuters are urged to stay informed and plan their journeys accordingly.
This breaking news story is still unfolding, and more details are eagerly awaited to shed light on the extent of the disruption and the anticipated timeline for restoring regular train services."
