Twin Engine to be used for PLR - EDMN service. As Single Engine not able to pull the 18 coaches train due to the gradient and sharp Curves . An Engine Will be stationed at PLR station .Will it be profitable for the Railway to use dual Engines for all trains which runs through the route. Wonder what will be happen to the EDMN- AYK Stretch. More Extreme hurdles are awaiting.

To cover ghat sections, bankers are required.Bankers are stationed at places like Karjat, Lonavala, Kasara, Igatpuri, Castle Rock, KUlem, Sakleshpur, Subramhmanya Road, etc. The loco being referred to may be the banker. With more and more electrification, many diesel locos have been released. So SR should not face any problem in stationing a banker at PUU.
That's unwanted now. Because now EDN & BJM revenue not meet single loco diesel expenses.thats why we asked,and puu -sct ghat section notg like a kongan or karnataka ghats.in MG single loco hauled upto 14 coaches at the end.so no problem for BHP of locos.so single loco enough for passenger trains.may be used banker loco for fright trains with 40 wagons only.otherwise SR creates purpose loss for this stretch artificially.
Bankers have nothing to do with expenses. If CRS says bankers are required, then it has to be provided. Further 18 coach BG rake is far more heavier than 14 coach MG rake. Anyways, passenger traffic be it Rajdhani or EDMN - QLN Pass runs at a loss. It is subsidised by charging high freight charges.
