MYS bound 12007 Shatabdi express leaving MAS.
Short Introduction : This is one of the most successful Shatabdi express in India. Almost running for 19 years with the same Timetable. This is one of the few Shatabdi express which has a traction change. This Shatabdi has been provided with various electric loco in MAS-SBC stretch like WAM-4, WAP-1, WAP-7, WAP-4. Occasionally with rare offlinks like WAG 5/7 . In SBC-MYS it has got KJM WDM 2, WDM 3A, WDG 3A ( before the advent of EMD's) . Once when EMD's were introduced it got the links changed to KJM/ UBL WDP 4/4B and sometimes with WDG 4 too. Right from its inception it had non stop run between MAS-SBC and SBC-MYS...

This was introduced by the then Railway Minister Mr. CKJ. From the date of Intro this train ran with 1 EC and 7 CC without addition of extra coaches to this train..even after with LHB.
Now only SR has given 1 extra EC and 3 extra CC to this train for a short period

UBL WDG-4 12120 kicks up dust at LC-9 continuing its non-stop run....
Good capture! Why this Shatabdi getting WDG4 a lot these days?
Probably because of loco availability issues. Anyway, this is such a short rake and the section is also not a high speed section, any diesel loco should be able to do the job easily.
Yes that i know. For this section even WDM2 can also do it as WDM2 previously used to haul it.
Point is passenger locos are mostly given for the prestigious trains of any section

Yeah of late WDP series was common and this is a sort of offlink or some last minute adjustment i feel...Anyway, as you said for the priority it gets, even WDM2 can easily manage :)
