A bundle of clothes makes life miserable for CR commuters

The first incident occurred at Sion on the Main line when the pantograph of a CST-Dombivli slow train went for a toss. Sources said that around 4.05 pm, the pantograph - the equipment that takes power from the overhead cables and supplies it to the train - developed a snag and the train stopped. The problem was rectified within 15 minutes and the services restarted. But the incident was the first of a series of technical failures on the CR.
