Picture showing the invasion of 25000V AC traction in Mumbai. 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. Thanks to Akshay. M & Jitendra Sir, just modified the layout of Virar in this pix. (Vijay Aravamudhan)

YES, NOW IT'S THE RIGHT TIME OF MUMBAI'S LOCO-CONVERSION TO COMPLETE A.C. TRACTION.
I REALLY REALLY WISH TO SEE MUMBAI RAJDHANI RUNNING FULLY
WITHOUT CHANGING IT'S ENGINE IN VADODARA.ONE & ONLY ENGINE
SHOULD HAUL THE TRAIN FROM DELHI ...

Thanks all. Please note the following:
1) Entry to KYN ELS is through a neutral zone and locos entering have to change from AC zone to DC zone.

2) Eventhough the ELS is under DC traction, Seperate test lines exists for AC locos & DC...

hay the main question is how WCG-2's will enter the loco shed..........
they must be shunted by another loco to their old house...
& the sole serviving DC shed of IR in it's last days of life..
very sad!!!!

Question: Approach to Kalyanloco shed now is thru 25 KV AC teritory. So do all WCAM-X and WCAG-X guys going to shed from DC teritorry change from DC to AC and back to DC (shed itself is DC) ? Or they and other WAGs are hauled by seperate diesel shunters...
