Piggybacking is not advisable for such a long distance from BAW to JRU as a single WAP-7 weighs approx of 3 ICF third AC coaches and will be more load for a single WDP-4D to haul for 266 kms as this section is full of steep gradients plus Gubbi Kardi section is a single line with numerous TSRs. This was the same reason why Karnataka got back diesel link from SBC to DD as it was like a single WDP-4D pulling 28 coach train as it took hell of a time to accelerate and reach mps. Yes if twin alcos are provided then piggybacking is possible but again the train will be too lengthier.
