The train traffic was specifically hampered by the derailment on the UP fast line that leads to CSMT (Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus), the officials said

The train traffic flow between the Byculla and CSMT stations was impacted by this disruption, they said

The 22731 Hyderabad-CSMT Express and the 22222 Nizamuddin-CSMT Rajdhani Express were held up near Mazgaon and Parel stations, the officials said

A 15-coach Kalyan-CSMT UP fast local train was also affected, currently held up at Byculla station

The CR also took to Twitter to alert the commuters and wrote, "Wheel of a shunting engine derailed near Mazgaon yard at 12.43 hrs. UP Fast line traffic between Byculla to CSMT is affected. Trains are being diverted from UP Fast line to UP slow line"

On Sunday, a technical issue caused train services along Mumbai's suburban rail network's Karjat-Bhivpuri section to be disrupted. The disruption was caused by an overhead equipment (OHE) breakdown, based on the preliminary information that was received

Due to a technical issue, OHE's power was immediately turned off at 7:30 am to allow for repairs on the damaged area
