AC-type OHE all over the place - hurray!

Have to see this live to believe that my 25-yr old dream of seeing AC-type masts in and around Ghatkopar-Kurla has finally come true! So, can we expect to have parallel action between long-distance trains in the Thane-LTT section?

Does this mean that all LTT trains will be using the 5th and 6th lines between Thane and LTT? Or will some of them actually use the 3rd/4th lines for a short while in the Thane-LTT section? How about trains from Dadar/CSTM - will they be employing the 5th/6th lines - especially during rush hours to free up tracks for the fast locals?

So nostalgic for me...my very own Ghatkopar station with AC OHE masts.... the bonus being an ICF Rajdhani-liveried rake. Bana de! Will definitely be visiting this place in August.

Dear Srinivas, Definitely NO. They are still under 150V DC. Its not possible to convert them as of now.
