Mumbai: On August 13, a Thane-bound local train originating from Karjat jumped a red signal at Badlapur Railway station, Central Railway’s Mumbai division. "The incident occurred at
approximately 2:25 PM on Tuesday when the train crossed the UP line starter signal (S-24) that had been displaying a red danger signal since 2:15 PM" said an official.
"The train arrived at the signal at 2:24 PM but failed to stop, with some coaches passing the red signal. Following the incident, railway officials rush on the site and initiated an
investigation." he said.
According to sources, motorman, KR Yadav, claimed that he applied the brakes in time, but technical issues may have caused the train to continue moving, leading to the signal overshoot.
However sources said that the brakes might not have been applied timely by the motorman, and an emergency brake was later engaged by the guard.
