Interesting that the lead motor, 309, has its pantograph down. 310 is doing all the work.

No, that was actually standard NH practice. These locomotives had a roof-mounted high voltage bus connection joining the pairs, and commonly ran with the pan on the lead unit lowered. That way, if there was a snag they might be able to raise the lead pan and keep going.
