Courtesy Twitter/@rohit_nakhwa[/caption] Seven coaches of a local train today derailed between Andheri and Vile Parle stations in suburban Mumbai, disrupting traffic on the busy route linking Churchgate in South Mumbai to Virar, PTI reported. No casualty has been reported, Chief Public Relations Officer (CPRO), Western Railway, Sharat Chandrayan said. The train coming from Borivili to Churchgate derailed at around 11 AM between Andheri and Vile Parle stations, the second such incident involving local trains in as many days. A team of engineers and rescue officials have rushed to the spot to restore the services, the CPRO said. An inquiry would be conducted to ascertain the cause of the derailment, he added. Meanwhile, trains on Western Railway have been massively disrupted. Trains on platforms 3, 4 and 5 on Andheri station have been cancelled for now. However trains on the slow track seemed to be running again after a short delay, according to several users on Twitter. Harbour line trains are said to be running as well. This incident follows the derailment of a Bandra-Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus local train on Monday evening. More updates to follow. Here, in the mean time, are some reactions from Twitter:
