But VB runs on AC traction ... How does it manages to cross this section ?
It's AC traction only. Only thing is the catenaries are so designed that initially it use to work on DC traction post conversion the same catenaries support AC traction. U can see the same in Mumbai suburban section as well.
By 1967, all routes of ER were converted from
3000v DC to 25000v AC, but the masts still remain at several places.
