Yes, this could be the case as Sachin has mentioned as the panto does not come down immediately at times, but gets lowered slowly. This could be a similar scenario. But, going from the pic I think shed staff have still kept the 1,2 position of the ZPT key intact for use in the shed.

All AC locos previously used to have 4 positions for purpose of raising pantos viz..0,1,2,1&2...when the ZPT key was kept on 1&2 both the pantos use to rise..however that position has long been discontinued..this position was particularly used by shed people for testing purpose but was never implemented on line.In this case it could possibly be a case of one of the pantograph getting stuck & LP not verifying the same before raising the other panto.Or this loco could still have 1&2 position intact.

OK so besides a WCG2, a G7 too can simultaneously raise both his pantos!!

OMG, it is the first time I am seeing such a pic. Why do they do this?

Amazing capture ujjwal! I thinks this is first instance of spotting a loco with both Pantograph raised simultaneously.

Khokri ROB between Ahmedabad & Maninagar

Has this been taken from the fly over near Kankaria yard?

I dont think the shape and the livery matters... The Most important is the equipment used in this loco?? Remember the Typical BHEL power...

WAP-4 has 11 exhaust windows, whereas this beast has 12.

BHEL will produce 50 of these beasts initially. My hunch is that this livery is to differentiate it from the CLW built shells. The wheel clearance and the subtle display of wheels almost makes it look like a WAP5 to me
