What is the reason behind changing the loco of CST bound trains at IGP eg.12261

Change of Traction from DC to AC. Actually, AC Territory starts from Kalyan Outer to Igatpuri and Kalyan Outer to Pune. At Kalyan, there is Neutral Zone. So trains which come from CSTM/LTT lower their DC Panto, negotiate neutral zone as a dead loco and then again enter AC Territory by raising AC Panto. This is possible only in WCAM type locos which are specifically made to cater to such situations. Pure DC locos are extinct now and Pure AC locos cannot enter DC Territory as their configuration is not meant for such.
