CR can no longer carry out the trial run on the CST line, as only now have the officials realised that the new rake is too tall to pass under some of the older bridges towards south Mumbai

Mumbai’s first air-conditioned local has been cooling its heels at the Kurla carshed for over three months now, as Central Railway authorities worked to fix all technical glitches before taking it out for trial runs, which were initially supposed to take place in May. Ironically, the officials have missed a major problem that has been staring them in the face all along — at almost 4.3 metres tall, the new AC rake is simply too big to pass under some of the city’s bridges without posing grave danger.
