A dramatic video of a Vande Bharat Express smoothly powering through waterlogged tracks in Mumbai has gone viral on social media platforms, sparking mixed reactions. The video, posted on X (formerly Twitter) on July 4, was reportedly filmed near Kanjurmarg as heavy rain lashed the city. The viral clip shows the train moving steadily along a stretch where rainwater had pooled over the rails. As the train pushed forward, large sprays of water shot up from both sides.

Mumbai rains
The video comes as Mumbai experienced severe waterlogging across low-lying areas, causing traffic jams and delays to daily commutes. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has warned of extremely heavy rainfall, issuing red alerts for parts of the region.
Despite the flooding, railway operations have largely continued. Officials noted that services on some routes were running slower as track conditions were being monitored, but trains were kept moving wherever possible to ensure passenger safety.
Meanwhile, heavy rains impacted flight operations for an hour at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport. Citing sources, the news agency PTI reported that four IndiGo flights were cancelled and 13 arriving aircraft from various operators were diverted to nearby airports.
This came after heavy rains and gusty winds forced Mumbai international airport authorities to suspend all runway operations for an hour on Sunday.
The 13 flights that were diverted due to the bad weather safely landed back in Mumbai later that day, sources added.
