In case anyone has missed the post on forum, photos from exhibition about EMUs at Churchgate on Saturday can be viewed here.

Light falling on the face in a wonderful way! Priceless looks! :)

839 was last loco to switch off in DC and looking at this photograph; probably the first one to raise its panto under AC wires! :)

Lovely angle shot. Very apt caption too on the EMU.

Certainly Srinivas Sir.....Pls let me know offline for any queries. Incidently, if you notice - BoriBunder Victoria Terminus (BBVT) - Now CST, was the 1st station on Indian Railways to introduce 1st ever electrification on route and 1st ever station to introduce 1500V Direct Current Traction and this same CST will be the last station on Indian Railways to get converted into 25000V AC traction.

I thought it was eighty five years - from 1927 to 2012 !

Great Going - Guys.

Thanks a lot for covering and sharing this Historic Moment with all of us.

This is a historic moment in the saga of IR in Mumbai area.

Eighty five years of DC traction has ended in BB&CI (WR). The next milestone will be to see WAM's and WAP's in BBVT (CSTM) of GIPR (CR).

Hope, this happens soon. This will be a feather in IR's cap.

Vijay - A couple of more updates will be needed from you !!

goodbye!
Thanks for all the wonderful memories over the years.

Nice image. In my mind's eye, I see a vantage point further back and to the right of this location where the railway line, bridge, river and that fabulous monument (Dakshineshwar temple?) at the rear will be visible in one shot.
