RailFanning is a gift you give yourself. - Varun

the 20 minutes might be for crew change and diesel filling up. no further staff is needed. if train is changed extra staff needed to attend changing of engine, wish to efficiently utilize staff in other places. as many bloggers have pointed out there is no point in changing to electric if a diesel can do the same job with same speed. they have to change the engine again in unelectrified sectors.

I think that Kumbh Exp will or should get WAMs between HWH & LKO after the SLN Route gets electrified n energized. Beyond LKO, it may get WDM uptil HW :-)

ur point is right but they dnt want to give an electric loco to this small train...
or there may be subject to availibility of elec locos thats y they are not giving it
but WDMs are rocking giving this train a monstorous speed
