- Mysuru - Varanasi - Mysuru Express: Piggy backing must be done in Chikkabanavara - Chikjajur, Kalaburagi - Bhigwan and Katni - Satna sections. This means diesel loco must be attached in front of electric loco at Bengaluru, Wadi/Kalaburagi and Katni for this train. Diesel loco must be detached at Chikjajur, Daund and Satna. Loco Change from electric to electric can be done at Guntakal because of loco reversal to save time
🔹06223/06224 - Shivamogga Town - Renigunta - Shivamogga Town Special: Diesel loco from Shivamogga Town to Chikjajur and electric loco from Chikjajur to Renigunta and vice versa
🔹18111/18112 - Tatanagar - Yeswantpur - Tatanagar Express: Diesel loco from Yeswantpur to Chikjajur and electric loco from Chikjajur to Guntakal/Vijayawada
🔹82653/82654 - Yeswantpur - Jaipur - Yeswantpur Suvidha Express: Piggy backing must be done in Kalaburagi - Bhigwan and Nimach - Chittaurgarh sections. This means diesel loco must be attached in front of electric loco at Wadi/Kalaburagi and Nimach for this train. Diesel loco must be detached at Daund and Chittaurgarh. Loco Change from electric to electric can be done at Guntakal because of loco reversal to save time
🔹This means there will be Loco Change (LC) or diesel loco attachment/detachment process at Chikjajur. Chikjajur can handle this process because it was doing similar process when trains with slip coaches were running i.e., Hosapete/Hubballi - KSR Bengaluru Passenger and Chitradurga/Hubballi - KSR Bengaluru Passenger. But what about the delay and traffic block caused because of this process?
🔹Currently 16229/16230 & 18111/18112 doesn't have halt at Chikjajur
🔹57477/57478 - Tirupati - Kadiridevarapalli - Tirupati Passenger will not get electric loco soon because of following reasons:
▪️Electrification has not been completed in Dharmavaram - Kadiri - Madanapalle road - Pakala section
▪️Rayadurgam is not capable of handling LC (as of now) because it has only 2 platforms and a main line. In other words there is no place for parking locos
