To Harsh - this operation is explained in message # 197184. These locos earn revenue in both trips - they are AEB equipped locos meant for ghat operation and haul as well as bank freight trains between Kulem and Castle Rock section. Apart from the superior hauling power of EMD locos, their precise dynamic brakes stop a train all the way to zero speed - DC motored locos of the earlier generation cannot match this performance.

It's raining Ratlam Jumbo these days. Nice one Ujjawal. Thanks for treating us with Jumbo pics.

Apurva, So why is it that WDM2 or its derivatives are not used on the down gradient? Isn't it a waste of these technologically superior and more powerful locomotives to be used only for braking purposes and returning back light?

Five locos are used to provide maximum braking efforts. This combination is never used for hauling the climbing train as the excessive power could damage the couplers.
