'Do we call it water rail?' Video Of Mumbai Train Running Through Waterlogged Tracks Goes Viral

Viral Video: Heavy rainfall in Mumbai brought the financial capital of India to a standstill, posing numerous challenges and highlighting the city's struggles. Many individuals shared their experiences on X (formerly Twitter).

The viral video Shared on the X by a social media user @GodmanChikna with caption, “They did a collab between Railways and Waterways” shows a local train running through heavily flooded railway tracks, with passengers at the doorsteps gazing out in disbelief as the tracks disappear into the waterlogged landscape.

Netizens reacted humorously to the viral video, One user commented  ‘Inauguration of Water Metro’ or as ‘Vande waters… world’s first Amphibious train technology’. Another wrote “a rare technical innovation where we left behind China and Japan also, driving trains over water. Every year our train switches to amphibious mode in the rain.” Third user reacted. “When you pay for a train ticket (maybe not), and you get a water ride for free.”

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has declared a "red" alert for Mumbai, Thane, Navi Mumbai, Panvel, and the rural areas of Ratnagiri-Sindhudurg, predicting heavy to very heavy rainfall.
