It was a bad day for daily commuters on Central Railway after the pantograph of one of the trains got entangled with an overhead wire in the afternoon, bringing services to an abrupt halt. Passengers were seen jumping off from the train.

A major accident was averted when alert passengers shouted a warning to those on the tracks to move away, as a train from the opposite direction hurtled towards them. The incident took place at 12.32 pm, when a pantograph of the Kalyan-CST down train became entangled with an overhead wire between Kurla and Sion stations. This is the first such case involving a 15-rake fast train.
