Last week many trains like Bilaspur-ERS running via BZA were diverted to run via DMM-YNK but with an E-loco (Off mode) behind WDPs..
This train is strange. I usually take this from CSDR to YNK every alternate days. At times it gets E-Loco and at times D-Loco. Any idea why?could it be cos of shortage of E-locos?
Not regularised. No fixed link for this train both ways!! It can get anything E-loco or D-loco
Thanks. They could have used e-loco itself drawing power from WFD and SSPN ESS. Still no news of when Someshwara ESS will be ready?
Mainly a shortage of locos, and partly depending on the number of freights running on electric traction on the route. As the substation capacity is currently limited, the number of trains that can be handled on the route is also limited. I've seen it arriving with electric loco and returning with diesel loco a few times.
