Services on the harbour line were disrupted on Wednesday morning, thanks to a coil of rope hanging from the overhead wires. The issue was fixed in 10 minutes, but it led to a delay in train services on the line for quite some time. 

“On Wednesday morning, there was a coil of rope hanging on the overhead wires between Masjid Bunder and CSMT at around 7.11 am, as reported by the motorman of the train. It had come from outside the railway area. Power had to be shut off, then the coil of rope was removed manually by railway staff and services resumed at 7.25 am,” a Central Railway official said.
