The rail type OHE conductors are common in Tokyo's Metro trains. One of the reasons for having a rail-type conductor is reduced hassle of maintenance of OHE equipment inside the tunnels. Rail-type OHE is easier to install and nearly maintenance-free.

I like the architecture, but isn't the pic poorly lit (look at the high intensity of light from the openings)? Nice to see you got out from those staring eyes. Or did you get questioned?

Apu sir, any specific reason for this arrangement? Can the same panto be used for OHE cable and rail? Also the height between top of coach and OHE looks very less.

Wow! This is truly a railfan's dream. Especially next to a busy trunk line such as this.

Ranga, was the view one of the deciding criteria in selecting your new home? ;-)

Karan, the doors of the DMRC rakes stop exactly where these arrows are situated. The red arrow is to indicate to the travelers inside the way out and the yellow one is to indicate to the people waiting the way to boards the rake. This was done so that there would be no inconvenience, but since this is India hardly anyone follows it. This inconvenience is deeply regretted!
