For the first time in 16 years since July 26, 2005, both the Mumbai-Pune and Mumbai-Nashik ghat sections remained shut for rail traffic on Thursday due to heavy rainfall. But the Central Railway was quick to restore them within 24 hours despite the extensive damage.

The Konkan Railway, however, continued to be affected due to heavy rain and water levels of the Vashishti river between Chiplun and Kamthe stations in Ratnagiri region rising above danger level. A landslide in Dudhsagar-Caranzol Section over the South Western Railway led to derailment of a Mangalore-Mumbai special train.
