Mumbai ACfication - DC to AC conversion of Borivali - Vile Parle Section

Coverage of the DC to AC conversion of Borivali - Vile Parle section by Mumbai members. Diesels had a field day on WR due to unavailability of OHE supply. It was a welcome change as WR Mumbai is an electric stronghold.

Diesel's Day Out !
How i wish the 2951 was hauled with Twin Ratlams for just one day till BVI, if not BRc :-)
Kudos to you Bombay rail nuts! You guys should've actually taken a contract with WR for the coverage! You've actually taken pain...

Kudos to you Bombay rail nuts! You guys should've actually taken a contract with WR for the coverage! You've actually taken pain to document most of it. :-)
