Yes.
Also add the LSA example mentioned below.
For instance, some years back when konkan kanya had PUNE EMD as loco, they used a complicated arrangement involving attaching EMD to Udyan, having it haul udyan till wadi, take charge of incoming konark at Wadi, hauling it to mumbai, take charge of mandovi to madgaon, return with KK (konkan kanya) to mumbai, take charge of konark and haul it to wadi, and finally take charge of udyan from wadi and haul it to Pune, thus returning it back to Pune DLS :D

One more way this is done is by having some trains have loco changes at the stations close to the sheds. In these cases, normally a loco change is not needed at those stations.

How loco movement happened at Ratlam DLS, Vishakhapatnam DLS, Abu Road DLS, Ernakulam DLS .
Yercaud Express which terminates at Erode also acts as a loco carrier from MAS to ED.
