Santhosh~ 55 blog postsWhat is the purpose of changing loco from WAP4 to WAP4 at Erode Jn for this Train.
In all probability, they are replacing a loco due for POH with a fresh one.
12625 TVC - NDLS Kerala Express too has a loco change @ ED, from WAP 4 to WAP 4; it gets a fresh loco which will go NDLS & bring the train back to ERS as 12626.

Its not a due for POH one , they are terminating the loco link at ED , Most of the locos will go to shed after a long haul . POH is done for loco for once in 8 years or 9 years which takes a month for completion. This change is just to terminate the link and provide a new loco for further journey as Erode does not have much of a terminating trains.
Replacing old loco with new loco , old loco will go to shed as it would have done a lot of trips , no other motive
