Railway staff promptly removed the object, restoring services by 10.13 am. Commuter Nagmani, traveling from Vashi for a meeting, missed his train as it stopped abruptly near Vadala Road station for nearly 25 minutes. A separate incident at Kalwa carshed involved scaffolding collapse, which damaged the OHE and did not impact train services.
