As per my discussions with staff at Pune, they have started replacing WAG5 Twin/Triplet Units with KYN WCAM3 Locos for banking duties. Due to this, there are orders to use KYN WCAM2P for DQ (both ways). Few WCAM-3 locos will be used towards IGP/ET side (as per current practice). In future, spotting of WCAM3 at Pune will be a rare event (sad but may be true)!
Today's Pragati went with WCAM-3 I guess... And one sureshot darshan of WCAM-3 with 11025/26 is possible :P
Yes! Today's and yesterday's Pragati Exp went out with KYN WCAM3 (the same incoming loco of CSTM-Shirdi Fast Passenger was immediately taken out). Also, there are plans to shift (in next few months or so) the link of Pune-BSL Exp to BSL WAM4/WAP4 (or any available AC Loco at BSL)!
That's great if BSL starts coming daily!! Some LSA has to be established or 11025 needs to be speeded up, so the incoming loco can return with 11026.
LSA (Loco Sharing Arrangement) will be established probably with some Mumbai or LTT bound train (or with some train bound for Manmad). Of course, this may happen soon or after 1 years or so (when Pune-Daund-Manmad is full AC Traction)!
