Mumbai: Local Train Derails At Kalyan Station, Traffic On Route Affected

Mumbai: A local train derailed in Mumbai's Kalyan on Friday but fortunately, no injuries have been reported in the incident.

Speaking on the incident, Central Railway Spokesperson said, “The incident occurred at Kalyan station platform number 2 when one coach went off the track and derailed. The train was heading to CSMT when one coach went off the track and derailed. There were no injuries.”

The suburban train's one coach went off the tracks at platform number 2. The incident occurred while the train was en route to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT). The situation is being managed.

The Titwala-CSMT train derailed on platform number 2 at around 9:00pm, leading to disruptions on the mainline, he said.

"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.

In a message on X, CR's Mumbai division DRM said, "Due to technical issue, mainline services are running behind schedule. Inconvenience is regretted." Kalyan is one of Central Railway's busiest junctions and is a major halt for suburban and long distance trains.

Incidentally, on Sunday, a train had derailed just outside the EMU Carshed at Western Railway's Mumbai Central station. It led to cancellation of several suburban trains since the down slow line was infringed by the derailed coaches.
