@Harish: Defintely not possible Harish. WCAM/G locos continously traverse on the triangular sections near Diva / Panvel / Vasai / Panvel / Karjat. Hence they do get reversed very often. Hence Panto positions for bi-current locos need not be fixed as you...

My General observation: DC Panto are facing (<) KJT/IGP Side. AC Panto are facing (>) CSTM Side. This is valid for CR, not sure for WR. This means a train departs CSTM has rear (DC) panto up and train departs IGP has front (AC) Panto Up.

Milind, To simplify what Ashish says, one panto will be AC and one will be DC. So there are 50% chances that any CAM loco will have the front panto up.

"Front panto up, a rare sight", Would half of the time for a to and fro ride in any section, the front panto of any WCAxx loco, not be up ? Or am I missing something?

Superb colors. Differing shades of red and grey complement the differing shades of green.
