The Central Railway (CR) did not let the incessant showers on Tuesday night and Wednesday rain on its parade. Stung by disruptions during the August 29 deluge, CR played smart on its suburban network in Mumbai by not taking out its BHEL-make trains that are prone to getting stranded in floodwaters. This move ensured that the services, though fewer in number, remained healthy and operational throughout the day.
