What happened
The Mangala Express was travelling from Delhi to Ernakulam when one of its wheels slipped off from the tracks near Kalyan railway station in Maharashtra at 2 pm.
This led to train services between Kalyan and Kasara being shut down for the entire time repair work took place at the spot.
The repairs were completed by 3:30 pm and the Mangala Express then went on its way.
Many trains delayed
However, because of the hold-up, many trains were running late in the area, which falls under Central Railway.
These include both local and long-distance trains, which were held up at least an hour or two while the repair works continued.
