You can run double-stack container trains under the wires
Tests in India, conducted in cooperation with Japanese experts, have proved that it is possible to run double-stack container trains along lines with overhead electrification.
Stone India, a Kolkata-based company, has developed a pantograph suitable for contact wires at the normal 5500 mm above rail level as well as the enhanced 7450 necessary for double-stack container trains.
The pantograph had to be compatible with existing standards - to use the same mountings, to have similar stability, to have similar weight limits and to be able to deal with strong winds.
