Click to open. it gets wdm3a from howrah to haridwar totally..

So in 20min of time loco can be change fro Electric to Diesel very easily hence,there is no extra wastage of time to haul by an electric engine.. the 20 minutes might be for crew change and diesel filling up. no further staff is needed. if train is changed extra staff needed to attend changing of engine, wish to efficiently utilize staff in other places. as many bloggers have pointed out there is no point in changing to electric if a diesel can do the same job with same speed. they have to change the engine again in unelectrified sectors. I think that Kumbh Exp will or should get WAMs between HWH & LKO after the SLN Route gets electrified n energized. Beyond LKO, it may get WDM uptil HW :-) Mar 05 2012 (11:14AM) ↑⇑ ↓⇓ ←→ ★ आसन नहीं यहाँ आशिक हो जाना ★** 11151 blog posts 26739 correct pred (71% accurate)  ur point is right but they dnt want to give an electric loco to this small train...or there may be subject to availibility of elec locos thats y they are not giving it but WDMs are rocking giving this train a monstorous speed Mar 05 2012 (11:16AM) ↑⇑ ↓⇓ ←→ ★ आसन नहीं यहाँ आशिक हो जाना ★** 11151 blog posts 26739 correct pred (71% accurate) yes but we will be waiting for akaltakth and upasna also who will be coming with HWH WAP#4 & WAM#4 from HWH respectively |
