The Burnt pantograph of my Harbour line Thane Local.
Firstly, When the train departed from Kopar Khairane at 13:48, today, there was a blast alike sound made by the pantograph (last panto of the train) of the second last coach. It was not noticed or ignored by the guard (motorman) and the train arrived Ghansoli, same blast-alike sound was heard by passengers, again. Again, it was ignored. Finally, the pantograph got damaged and emitted sparkings with certain amount of smoke, while the train was in motion between Ghansoli and Rabale. Train was halted and some of the passengers from last and second last coaches, deboarded the train at the stranded place.
In...
more... actuality, the pantograph was behaving likewise while the rake was in motion.
Then the train arrived Rabale and departed after undergoing minor inspection.
Again the same thing happened, while the train was in motion between Rabale and Airoli stations.
Finally, the pantograph was lowered and the train arrived thane 38 mins late!.
The Local behind this one was closely following us.
