Mumbai: An empty local train rake rammed into buffer of a platform at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus in Mumbai early Tuesday morning.
However, nobody was injured as the platform number 5 where the incident occurred was empty that time. The incident also did not affect the schedule of suburban trains on Central Line.
The EMU rake hit the buffer at the dead-end of the platform when it was being placed there after mandatory checking, the Central Railway stated in a release in Mumbai.
