Even as I type this post, a mega-block (a non-availability of railway tracks in railway parlance) on the Western Railway suburban section draws to a close. This was due to the conversion of the electrification from DC to AC. While the lines north of Borivili were already AC-electrified, this work would mean that the lines would be converted to AC from north of Vile Parle instead. With that, in all probability, the neutral "dead zone" (which is currently at Borivili) would be shifted to Vile Parle. And, within a few months, the dead zone would be all gone as the entire suburban section would be AC-electrified.
