Passengers had a close shave in an air-conditioned local on Wednesday after the main heavy-luggage rack installed above the window came crashing down while the train was in motion. Luckily, no passengers were seriously injured. Santosh Mishra, who was onboard the train, said it was the 7.49 pm Churchgate-Virar AC local.

A Western Railway spokesperson said, “Due to a loose bolt, one of the luggage racks came off in the Virar-bound AC local train, which had departed from Churchgate. The issue has been attended to and the luggage rack has been re-fixed. Additionally, all AC local trains have been inspected and checked thoroughly for the same defect.”
