According to railway officials, the disruption occurred on the down through line at around 7.52 am near kilometre marker 44/1-6. Initially, two local trains and one MEMU service were held up due to the technical snag.

Officials said that one local and one MEMU have since been taken out, while the remaining EMU is in the process of being cleared. Diesel locomotive (DSL) power was being arranged to move the affected train, while a tower wagon was dispatched from Vasai Road to the site to carry out repairs.

Restoration work is underway and normal services are expected to resume within an hour, officials added.
