ET Alco twins was the loco link for KK for a long time when it used to get loco change at ET. Grew up watching that :)
VSG train always used to get offlinks like LDH, ABR, LKO back in 2013, nowadays just KJM EMD but occasionally have seen offlink /blog/post/2115112

Great! My favorite loco class. Used to see AJJ WAM's regularly at WFD. It's sad to see them getting decommissioned.
BZA ELS is over-occupied now holding more than 200 locomotives and there is no scope for expansion. Also BZA-BVRT FEDL is in progress and that too has to be considered when planning out for BZA. With GTL-GNT, GTL-Wadi getting electrified, along with the newly electrified GTL-DMM route ( traction substation issues not-withstanding), from SCR's perspective at least, GTL is an ideal location to get a new electric locomotive shed. It's central location also makes it an ideal location for setting up the loco shed.

Hardly. GTL will cater to the MAS-CSTM line and also cater to trains heading towards SBC from GR/GNT side. Sheds like GTL, ET, AJJ, ED etc are designed to cater to a wide selection of routes as these stations by themselves do not have much originating traffic and mostly have passing trains. It won;t be surprising if GTL WAP's are seen hanging around SBC in the future.
Again, I am just saying that an ELS is probably not a requirement with only the MYS-SBC route to cater to. Most trains from BWT side get loco links from farther up in their routes like VSKP or ET, or SR links for those originating/passing from MAS. On the GTL...
