A fortnight after Central Railway services were rudely brought to a halt due to a fire in a signaling cabin, Harbour line commuters had to deal with a similar disruption in train services yesterday. An overhead wire snapped near Vashi station after a short circuit during the morning rush hour, causing much agony to office goers. Around 9.11 am, many train services were cancelled, stressing out daily commuters who were left stranded at stations or jostling for auto rickshaws and buses. The snag was fixed after an hour, around 10.15 am. But it was enough to generate anguish and confusion among citizens.
