A similar tram type (only contact wire) section exists between harduaganj TPP and Aligarh jn. in UP. I suppose the logic behind such traction is that if the no. of trains passing per day are very limited and most of it is low speed traffic (like heavy freight), wear and tear would be much less and hence significant capital saving on OHE installation can be done while still having advantages of electric traction.
