Central Railway suspends its services for most part of the day and Konkan railway services get affected, but trains on the western section run intermittently

Rainwater washed away the tracks near Shelu railway station
Even as heavy rainfall, waterlogging, landslides and boulder collapse affected most of the transport links of the city, the Railways and the BEST bus service managed to keep Mumbai going. Even though the Central Railway (CR) suspended its services for the most part of the day and the Konkan railway services got affected, trains on the western section ran intermittently. While 23 BEST buses broke down, the others managed to ply.
While there was extreme waterlogging near Sion, parts of the tracks near Shelu railway station got washed off. Even the Mumbai-Pune ghat section was affected due to boulder collapses. Following a massive landslide near Jite station, all the approaches to the Konkan Railway section were closed for a while.
