In a fitting tribute to Mumbai's resilience, and a matter of pride for the Central Railway, the last remaining of the blown-up-and-restored train coaches, after the 7/11 serial blasts, is still in operation and getting ready for another month's run. Though the coach is expected to be history and scrapped by the end of the month, railway authorities say they will try and save it.

The coach, 864-A, was part of the 12-car 5.57 pm Churchgate-Virar local that was torn apart at Matunga Road station on July 11, 2006; Wednesday was the 12th anniversary of the 7/11 blasts that killed nearly 180 and injured scores others.
