SOLAPUR - CSMT Siddheshwar SF Express arrives at Thane with Kalyan WDP-4D 40361.

This train has been running with diesel traction for a while and it is utter waste of resources in running a train with diesel traction on a fully electrified route. You are not only burning diesel for pulling the train but EOG is also consuming a hell lot of it.

The electrification of lines hasn't happened in a fortnight and they had enough time to pre-plan and demand the locos and get them allocated. Besides, it has been more than a year since the Konkan section and the Mumbai - Solapur - Chennai section have been electrified and still they are struggling with electric locomotives.

The inefficiency at Central Railways is at its peak currently where they have been incompetent in getting e-locos allocated while other zones get it easily.

Very sad state of affairs being a railfan from CR Zone.

Also zones are giving passenger trains goods electric locomotives like WAG7 or WAG9 due to shortage of passenger locos like WAP4 or WAP7. This severely restricts the MPS of the train to 90kph.
In these circumstances zones should have better given these trains passenger diesel locomotives which are available in abundance now. CR did the right thing in my opinion by giving these trains WDP4Ds instead of goods electric locomotives.
Seeing ICF long distance SF trains with WAG7 or WAG9 is common these days too.

Valid point . Railways need to smartly plan loco allocation.
In some zones , mail/ express/passenger trains with a lot of stoppages are given WAP-7/WAP-5 ; whereas CR , SWR are running superfast trains with WAG-9/WAG-7 ............
What is the use of electrification when trains are not able to get electric locomotives befitting their average speed and schedule ?

...
more...
Even In UBL-SBC section , 12725/26 and 20653/54 recently got e-locos after the freshly allocated WAP-7 reached KJM shed . Despite electrification completed months back.
While UBL Shed is full of WAG-9s , it lacks passenger electric locos .

IR needs to upscale WAP-7 and WAP-5 production over WAG-9 , and allocate to these zones with dire need. And if not so , it is better to see a wdp4 humming and notching up than a " green Goblin " struggling to keep up with the train's schedule.
