AZT~ 3220 blog postsTravelled in Bagmati Express from MYS-MAS. Enjoyed humming of KJM emd but no mps action till SBC. Also experienced emd going from notch 1 to highest number at gradients showing the impact of gradients on trains and struggling of loco between MYS-SBC.
Spotted a BHEL G7 at Yeliyur which was used for electric run on the next day.
110 mps observed between SBC MAS and RPM P7 easily handled the gradients.

It's just a matter of time bro.U just need to wait till next year Jan. Iam sure Electric's are just gonna rock this line specially RPM and ED P7 (cauvery) but there will be certain areas where Speed will be restricted .
If the EMDs are struggling on the route, then all other locos will definitely struggle too. EMDs are currently the best in IR for hauling trains on gradients and hauling heavy loads.
Yeah, one person at Betul Railway station told me that Nagpur-bound heavy freight trains hauled by G-7/9 cannot be looped at Betul because of gradient.....they have to be given non-stop clearance......if they stop, it becomes difficult to start the train.....
If EMD struggles means , no other loco can effectively replace them and out perform . WDG has one of the best pulling power on par with WAG9
