Mumbai: Train services on harbour line were suspended for over an hour on Sunday as a crow got stuck in the overhead wires near Reay Road station, leading to sparks and snapping of the wire.While railway officials denied that the wire did not snap and that it was just a "crow fault" which led to disruption, sources said there were reports of the wire snapping. Railway officials said the fault occurred due to the crow flying in the vicinity of the high tension wires around 11.40 pm. The train service on the down side of harbour line between CST and Wadala was stopped completely and the services were restored at 12.40 pm, said public relations officer A K Singh. He denied that the wires had snapped as it could have then taken at least three hours to normalize services. "Our engineers and technicians rushed to the site and rectified the problem on a war footing within an hour. There was no problem on harbour line for rest of the day," he added.
