ForeverLoveforERSWDM3A~ 956 blog postsConsidering the somewhat aggressive schedule of this train, why cant they provide ERS ALco twins for this train. At least provide an E loco. The WDP4D is struggling to accelerate I feel due to the load.
WDP4D is more than capable enough to haul a 22 coach LHB or 24 coach ICF rake.
All the trains in YPR-Salem route ( via HSRA) are running with E-loco. Only this train is still running with diesel end to end. Not sure of the reason. So much fuel wastage. The schedule from Salem till YPR can definitely be speeded up. For the last one year or so the train has never reached Hosur or Carmelaram on time ( avg delay 1 hr daily) but because of the huge slack ends up reaching YPR either on time or with a small delay of 10-15 min only
The reason is the electric loco shortage of SWR. They don't want any WAP4 and now concentrating on the Hubli route to electrify more trains.
