On The eventful day of 8th June 2015; the entire Mumbai CR line was changed from DC current to AC current. This was once in a lifetime and a historic event which was never to be missed. Myself and Few other RFs had gathered at Thane station and kept reporting the status, sightings through out the night so as to keep all interested people updated with the Event.
The block was finally taken at about Midnight and after a long six hours the CR mainline had successfully undergone the transition from DC to AC. However, it wasn't done yet, Officials have to test whether the run for EMUs is as per expectations or not!

Excellent write up!
The other thing to watch will be how Harbour line will be made into AC traction & how will those Sunday mega block local trains travel via main line (in case CLA-VDLR-SNDR closed for maintenance) where will be the neutral zone & how will it work, it will be worth watching...

Thanx Soumi da! yes everybody was very very excited to witness all the action rt from the moment we came to know that CR Mainline is now under AC traction! Its a moment you just cant describe in words. Would have been great if you were present there!
Harbour Line won't go under AC traction any time soon. The DC rakes released from CR Mainline will be pressed into service at Trans Harbour and Harbour line. So Both the services can now breathe easy! AFAIK, Trans Harbour line might be next to go under AC traction, but its a fare way away still!
Hope it gets done by this year end if new rakes are made available...
