ED KRR is down gradient.
KRR to ED is up gradient.
ED KRR is down gradient.
KRR to ED is up gradient.
Still the announced trains to run with A.C. Loco in that stretch is still running with D Loco.
Existing ED KRR 100 return direction 110 i e KRR ED ?
but ED to KRR down gradient so speed will be less i.e 100and KRR to ED up gradient speed will be more i,e 110 ? May be it should be swap condition isnt it?

Down gradients will have a lower speed limit than up-gradients.
Usually, on a down gradient, the loco has to brake to make sure that the train does not over-speed. Now, on a down gradient, even if the LP does not accelerate, the train will accelerate automatically due to gravity, unless the driver is applying brakes. So, to ensure safety, trains are run at a slightly lesser speed than the MPS to give some room for error.
There are no such problems going uphill, so trains...
