Bhopal Shatabdi: chalti hai ek dum hawa ke mafik, speed aisi ke ruka de traffic - Varun

Yeah they are slightly slanted cos they r extra long...but idk that will be any problem cos our engineers might have sorted out that problem. But its still a plus point that speeds won't be restricted anyhow...like in high rise.

Well they can paint it..or poles can be galvanized to overcome rust. What's the need of swapping poles.

Yes
Atleast we will be able to see old fashioned OHE poles
Especially in Mumbai region & HWH/SDAH region

I'm very confident that there is a reasoning to swap the poles from DC configuration to AC. The old caternary system used in Kolkata and Mumbai region was brought by British Railway. But we were much more quicker to decide on using AC as primary source than UK itself. So majority of IR tracks of AC configuration poles in them. Like I said that they are swapping old DC poles with the new AC poles is not just an Indian regional thing but it's happening in UK as well. So we just need to find that techinal reason.

As u can see its not pure high rise. Lol. Only poles are high rise. Due to low height of ROB's in the city...the wiring will be done as low rise in the city premises. Salawas (outer jodhpur) to luni section is pure high rise.
