Yo, check it out - the SOLAPUR - CSMT Siddheshwar SF Express just pulled up in Thane with Kalyan WDP-4D 40361. I gotta say, it's a real waste of resources running this train on diesel when the whole route is electric. Like, seriously, why burn diesel and waste it when the EOG is sucking up so much of it too? They've had plenty of time to plan and demand electric locos - it's been over a year since the Konkan section and the Mumbai - Solapur - Chennai section got electrified. And yet, they still can't handle electric locomotives. Talk about inefficiency, man. The Central Railways are really dropping the ball here. Other zones have no problem getting e-locos, but not these guys. It's a shame, especially for us railfans in the CR Zone. Vivek out.

SOLAPUR - CSMT Siddheshwar SF Express Thane pahunche hai Kalyan WDP-4D 40361 ke saath.

Ye train kuch samay se diesel se chal rahi hai aur yeh puri tarah se Vidyutikarit route par diesel se chalane ki resources ki puri barbaadi hai. Jab train ko khinchi jaati hai to diesel jal raha hai aur EOG bhi bahut sa diesel kha raha hai.

Lineon ki vidyutikarana abhi kuch hafton mein hua nahi hai aur unhe pahle se plan karne ka aur locos ka poora samay tha aur unhe allocate karaane ka bhi. Iske alawa, Konkan section aur Mumbai - Solapur - Chennai section ko vidyutikarit karne ke ek saal se jyaada samay ho chuka hai aur abhi bhi vidyutiyukt locos ke saath unki samasya hai.

Central Railways ki asamarthta abhi top par hai, jahaan tak e-locos ko allocate karne ki baat hai, jabki dusre zones aasani se manage kar lete hai.

CR Zone ke railfan hone ke naate bahut dukhad haalaat hai.
