Picture showing the invasion of 25000V AC traction in Mumbai. Certainly not to scale. Just tried to show the progress made by CR & WR in bringing 25KV AC traction into Mumbai, ruled by 1500V DC at present. Thanks to Akshay. M & Jitendra Sir, just modified the layout of Virar in this pix. (Vijay Aravamudhan)

WITHOUT CHANGING IT'S ENGINE IN VADODARA.ONE & ONLY ENGINE
SHOULD HAUL THE TRAIN FROM DELHI TO MUMBAI.
ALSO WOULD LKE TO SEE THE ADI-BCT SHATABI & THE KARNAVATI
SUPERAST EXP RUNNING WITH THE USUAL WHITE COLOURED WAP-LOCO
WHICH CURRENTLY HAULS TRAINS SUCH AS HWH & SDAH RAJDHANI ,
DELHI-LUCKNOW SHATABDI & MUMBAI-RAJDHANI FROM VADODARA TO

Thanks all. Please note the following:
1) Entry to KYN ELS is through a neutral zone and locos entering have to change from AC zone to DC zone.

2) Eventhough the ELS is under DC traction, Seperate test lines exists for AC locos & DC...

Thanks all. Please note the following:
1) Entry to KYN ELS is through a neutral zone and locos entering have to change from AC zone to DC zone.

2) Eventhough the ELS is under DC traction, Seperate test lines exists for AC locos & DC Locos.

3) Only WCAM/WCAG can enter live inside the shed.

4) Pure DC Locos -WCG2 & Pure AC Locos WAG5/7/WAM4 have to be necessarily towed into the shed by either WCAM/WCAG or diesel locos.

5)WCAM/WCAG would be completely under AC territory outside ELS & while entering ELS gate they have to change from AC to DC, and will probably go into DC test / assembly lines.

hay the main question is how WCG-2's will enter the loco shed..........
they must be shunted by another loco to their old house...
& the sole serviving DC shed of IR in it's last days of life..
very sad!!!!
