The last remaining coach blown up in the July 11, 2006, train blasts that was restored for service, will be displayed at Mumbai CSMT's open-air heritage gully museum in a fitting reply to terrorism. The coach was retired after it completed its codal life. The news comes close on the heels of the scrapping of the Millennium rake, that had saddened Mumbai.

The train has gracefully retired from public service after a successful innings on the trans-harbour line. We will be transporting the coach to Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) and putting it up for public display near platform 18," Central Railway's Chief Public Relations Officer Shivaji Sutar said.
