It seems that lady luck isn’t smiling on the Central Railway. In less than a week after a major derailment happened on the Kalyan-Vithalwadi stretch, another derailment has taken place. This time it happened at CST, which is the headquarters of CR. The reason behind it is not said to be technical fault but probable human error.

Yesterday, a wheel set derailed on platform 16 of CST which is used by long distance trains, early in evening. Two wheels of the coach came off the rail tracks while the empty train was reversing from the station and going into the yard. This happened due to a goods parcel that was sent to Mumbai, which was apparently in the same train, and fell on the tracks, causing the wheels to derail.
