"A weld fracture was reported on the CSMT-bound slow line between Thane- Mulund at 9.25 am. It was attended by staff and put right at 9.50 am," Central Railway chief public relations officer Shivaji Sutar said.

A number of services were delayed and a few detained and diverted due to this incident. Commuters took to tracks to change over from slow to fast so as to reach their destinations.
