Fire on a goods train gutted down two coaches on Thursday night near Dahanu Road, leading to several trains being cancelled and services affected on Friday morning.
The incident occured around 10.35 p.m. on Thursday on the Uttar Pradesh line (towards Mumbai) between Dahanu Road and Vangaon station.
According to railway officials, the overhead equipment had melted due to the fire and as a result traffic services in that section were completely disrupted on Friday morning.
There were no casualties reported.
The line was made operational at 9.10 a.m. on Friday. While the Down Line had been restored 1.35 a.m. after repair works carried out over night, services were operating with speed restrictions.
Due to the fire, 12 trains had to be either cancelled or short-terminated, including the Mumbai-Surat Flying Ranee. Suburban services in the morning were being operated till Boisar, before the UP line was made operational. Four long-distance trains were also diverted, including the Pune-Ahmedabad Duronto Express.
