A few suburban and long-distance trains of the Central Railway were delayed on Wednesday evening due to a cattle run-over incident near Kasara station coupled with a technical glitch, officials said. A Kasara-bound local train was detained between Khardi and Umbermali stations for a long time after a cattle was run over on the tracks around 5.30 pm.
The incident led to a glitch in the braking system of the local train, and hence, with the help of an assisting engine, it was taken to Kasara station. At least five long-distance trains and a few other locals were delayed as a result, officials said.
