yaa agree, and more thing to watch out for, trains like SBC-GIMB,JU are running with WDP 4s from end to end,although Pune-ADI has electrification...

This train already has a 25Mnt stop @ADI...enough for a loco change.
Sorry young man but you must at-least do basic checks before you speak (or as in this case write). 22451/52 halts for 25 mins at Ahmedabad Junction so 2 of your reasons go straight out the window. As far as shortage is concerned, any number of WAP & WAM loco's can be transferred here since it is pure AC sector.
Also once the train arrives at the destination, the loco is not switched off but keeps running in idle mode for hours. You can only guess how much diesel is being wasted.
Fyi,...
