"The restoration work has been completed and a track fit certificate has been issued," a statement issued by Konkan Railway on Wednesday said.

Six trains which had been diverted on account of the accident during peak monsoon showers in August, namely 02617 Ernakulam Jn. - H. Nizamuddin Special Express, 02618 H. Nizamuddin - Ernakulam Jn. Special Express, 02284 H. Nizamuddin - Ernakulam Jn. Duranto Special Express,
