by an electric engine (KYN WCAM-3), 51034 SNSI-CSMT FP arrives on PF-4 at Daund, which is a terminating platform i.e. trains cannot go any further. The slip portion arrives on PF-3 with a diesel engine. This D-loco detaches from the rake and gets attached at the rear end of Sainagar FP standing on PF-4. Then the rake of Sainagar FP is pulled out of PF-4 and is taken to PF-3 where the slip portion is already standing.

After getting attached to the rake, both trains run as a single unit for the rest of the journey (upto Mumbai). All of this takes more than an hour and sometimes even more, in case one of the train gets delayed.
