Mid-night about 1:30 am i saw 57458 Kakinada-Tpty fast passenger with a Diesel loco at Gudur Junction. Can anybody tell me why they are using Diesel locos for a full electrified track.
no sir both train run via barh mokama kiul jasidih madhupur asansol burnpur adra purulia barabhum chandil kandra gamharia adityapur I have travelled around 20 times in both train.omly route of tata chapra is a bit different tata chapra does not enter adra and it bypasses between jouchandipahar and anara
The reason behind this as hears from fellow passenger is that this train has very high priority between patna asansol route because most of the people travel for their office for their job and electic supply between these sectionis always disturbed hence to avoid delay it is still hauled by this diesel loco of Kharagpur shed or bondamunda shed
@Ranz Leim: Re# 198381-15 some part it runs in non electriied route like, ,nididavole, ,bhimavaram, ,gudivida, bza hence diesel loco disel loco consumes more fuel(cost wise) than electrified loco because the diesel loco works on electricity only generated by diesel, now a days multiple locos coming ehich runs on diesel as well electricity.only lifting pantha required to convert diesel to electricity these... more...
locos are very limited. again guntun to bibinagar non electrified track in the same way hyd to pune which runs on diesel loco in seperate route where traction not there
mileage of diesel locomotives has been measured on the basis of gallon ie. miles per gallon[mpg].1 mile per gallon = 0.425143707 kilometers per liter. mileage to most extent is also depends on the load carrying by locomotive. less load will definiely gives you more mileage and viceversa.
