Very nice video showing the operation of a pantograph at speed. You can clearly see the zigzag affect in the overhead which is designed to evenly distribute wear across the pan. Video does not specify location, but based on left-side running and overcast skies I'm going to go out on a limb and guess it's the UK :)
