<p>Two coaches of an empty local train derailed while entering a car shed from <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-news/article/two-coaches-of-local-train-derail-at-mumbai-central-no-injuries-reported-23410210" target="_blank" rel="none noopener"><strong>Mumbai </strong></a>Central, affecting operations on the Western Railway on Sunday afternoon, officials said.</p>
<p>There were no reports of any injuries as the train was empty when it derailed around 12.10 pm, said Vineet Abhishek, chief public relations officer of <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-news/article/mumbai-local-train-updates-western-railway-to-revise-train-time-table-from-oct-12-introduce-new-services-check-details-23403735" target="_blank" rel="none noopener"><strong>Western Railway</strong></a>.</p>
<p>The derailment severely affected the suburban services as the slow track towards <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-news/article/mumbai-railways-to-run-special-trains-between-dadar-and-bhusaval-ltt-and-raxaul-during-festive-season-check-details-23403602" target="_blank" rel="none noopener"><strong>Dadar </strong></a>was blocked, he added.</p>
<p>"The slow track towards Dadar between <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-news/article/mumbai-local-train-updates-services-on-western-railway-line-disrupted-due-to-point-failure-at-churchgate-23378110" target="_blank" rel="none noopener"><strong>Churchgate </strong></a>and Mumbai Central is blocked. However, trains are being diverted to the fast line between these two stations to ensure continued operations," the official said.</p>
<p>At least 60 services were cancelled and many others were delayed owing to the derailment, news agency PTI reported.</p>
<p>The coaches were re-railed nearly three-and-a-half hours which were blocking both down slow line and the track leading to the Mahalaxmi carshed from the southern end, said a Western Railway spokesperson.</p>
<p>The services on the down slow line were restored around 5.35 pm, about two hours after re-railing the coaches, he said.</p>
<p>According to sources, derailment of a local train at the spot was not an isolated incident, recalling three such incidents from the last two decades.</p>
