The last remaining train coach that was blown in the 7/11 Mumbai train blasts, and was restored, 864-A, is back in service for a brief spell after routine maintenance break. It will retire soon though the Central Railway authorities have promised to save it. This writer travelled in the coach on Thursday and spoke to few commuters, some of whom looked at it in disbelief and some who were disconnected.

"All the trains look the same, but if it is indeed the one, I don't think there's anything to react as it's a part of life," Avinash Randive, who works at Airoli said. Another commuter, Suresh Awagram, an executive working in Ghansoli said that it was a matter of pride, but there must be some signage on it as a mark of respect. "It indeed deserves to be saved for the next generations to see," he said.
