FINALLY MUMBAI WESTERN RAILWAY GOES 25000 VOLTS AC!!!

WITH THIS CONVERSION ENTIRE MUMBAI SECTION OF WESTERN RAILWAY GETS CONNECTED TO THE REST OF THE 25000V AC ELECTRIFIED TERRITORIES OF INDIAN RAILWAYS..........

Picture showing the invasion of 25000V AC traction in Mumbai as on February 05, 2012. Certainly not to scale. Just tried to show the progress made by CR & WR in bringing 25KV AC traction into Mumbai, ruled by 1500V DC at present. Also, this image shows the entire DC to AC conversion calendar right from 2004 till date.
Note to Moderators: Dear Mods, Please preserve this image as this lists out the entire AC conversion calendar. (Vijay Aravamudhan)

Thanks Arzan.

Dear Mr. Rao - Why should it terminate the services? When Andheri went AC, CR deployed ACDC rakes for Andheri services. Now Bandra has gone AC, so CR has to deploy ACDC rakes for Bandra services too. Hence no question of...
