Please change the link. The link is not ED WAP-4 till WADI. It will be hauled by a TKD WAP-7 from NDLS to SBC but in the short unelectrified stretch,it will be towed by a PUNE WDP-4D. WAP-7 will switch on and continue in the electrified section.

The train runs with HHP locos all the time as LHP locos can't haul 25 coaches at that stretch on the plateau region. So HHP is needed whatsoever is the case. Second is that time loss was happening.

Jinti road is around 15 minutes towards Solapur from DD. Bhigwan to New Delhi is fully double electric line where the train goes at good speed. The actual reason...
