central railway now running dual power DC - AC emu rakes between mumbra - thane - cstm bcz of DC strectch. Now kalyan to thane fast line is converted to AC line from DC and from mumbra - thane - cstm slow line is still DC. So all north bound kalyan - kasara - karjat emu rakes is running with dual DC - AC power. It is stressful for all emu trains motermen to raise the pantograph of emu trains between Thane - Mumbra slow line for shifting from one electricity system you have to lower the pantograph neutral for few seconds and raise up the pantograph back it up for enter other electrical system. And work is going for DC – AC conversion between mumbra – thane – cstm strectch after complete than this problem will be solve easily.
