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.

Are these two new lines electrified on 25 KV AC ??

Good coverage of the event. Thanks for sharing and will visit this place as soon as possible now.

Good Capture ! Wish I would've been there to witness all this. One more thing I pointed out that rake of 2142 cant be so short ;-) Anyways a good attempt to stich the pictures. Perfect stiching of pictures having electric poles and wires is always difficult.

Karan - 1stly, Thanks for your compliments. Secondly, I am not charged up, still on 1500V DC only ;-). Thirdly and honestly speaking, what you now have said is same as what you earlier tried to say. But this time, its really gentle and subtle. This is what I meant to point out to you. Yes I agree, there is an error in the pic, and is a fact and ofcourse cannot be denied. But as I said, there is a way to convey your opinion, especially when interacting in a forum like IRFCA. Pls excuse me, if I had sounded rude, no such intentions here. Take care.

Vijay, relax. No need to get so charged up. This photo is incorrectly stitched as is evident at the center and you like it or hate it, that's a fact. If both trains were indeed running exactly parallel as this photo makes out to be, the stitching would not have a discontinuity. I really appreciate all of you taking the pains to cover this event, I was just pointing out the error from a photography point of view. Please cool down.

Karan - I would like you to think twice before throwing words out. Time and again this has been observed in you.

First of all, Nobody here is interested in providing a fake picture representing any sort of "dramatic action" to anyone here and "Win Any Brownie Points" here from all people in the forum. I completely agree, bit more care could have been taken while photoshopping / stitching and then representing the picture. But I certainly feel your sentence "but photoshopped to give a false impression of dramatic 'parallel action'" is really discouraging and accusatory, especially when people have virtually drained themselves out in the scorching sun and dirtiest humid weather at 2:30pm; counting minutes and seconds, for the 1st ever train. Certainly there is better way to state your comments.

And to prove this to you and everyone, who is questioning Tushar's intentions of "producing a fake picture" - Let me clarify, I myself witnessed this. I also saw both of the trains moving...

I also saw both of the trains moving parallel to each other, but unfortunately, I couldn't capture it, as I was busy capturing the new track layouts as well as continously fighting against the hotter and humid weather.

With this, I stop my statement here. Its now purely upto you all people, whether to take this or not. But fact remains a fact and no one can deny it.

Moderators - If you feel, I have been harsh here, then I apologise for the same. If you feel, I have violated the guidelines, while trying to prove the worth of this picture, I accept your any decision on the same.
