"There is no report of injury to anyone. The rear coach derailed when the train was at slow speed since it was about to halt at platform number 2," Central Railway chief public relations officer Swapnil Nila said.

In a message on X, CR's Mumbai division DRM said, "Due to technical issue, mainline services are running behind schedule. Inconvenience is regretted." Kalyan is one of Central Railway's busiest junctions and is a major halt for suburban and long-distance trains.

Incidentally, on Sunday, a train had derailed just outside the EMU Carshed at Western Railway's Mumbai Central station.

It led to cancellation of several suburban trains since the down slow line was infringed by the derailed coaches.
