The track has no ballast (understandable, even KR has ballastless sections) and no sleepers too! Is it that way only on underground sections? Also, where does the track derive the stability that ballast and sleepers provide in the absence of both?

Rail type structure supports the OHE wire, i.e. carries the wire.

Ah Sid! No one ever said that metal rail can "generate" electricity. Generation of electricity is the job of thermal power stations :-). Metal rail can only feed electricity. As for your statement the "rail type structure only supports the OHE wire", it is not clear what you mean.

The kind of house we railfans dream to live in. Enjoy!

Let me point out one thing. This rail type structure only supports the OHE wire. The metal rail does not generate the electricity if that is what some of you are thinking. And yes the same pantos can be used for this too.

Or perhaps Shanx-paji had a permit to shoot in DMRC stations? As for the exposure, the sensor gets confused when there are various "sources" of light and it finds it hard to meter them properly.

Good frontal shot of a WDM-3A.
