Like Allahabad Duronto Express which goes upto Etarsi with cam-3, this train should go with WCAM-2 right upto Bhusawal, where it can switch over to BSL WAP-4.
WCAM-2 are capable of 120 Kmph, so, till Bhusawal, it can easily do nice run just like a WAP-4 like it did it's best with BCT Rajdhani from BCT to BRC.
If such changes is made, 15 mins halt at Igatpuri can be reduced to 2 mins (for detachment of bankers), hence saving 13 mins.
Hence,...
more... repeated delay in arrival at Nasik and Bhusawal will be reduced/avoided. There is lots of slack in between Bhusawal and Bhopal, thats proved by last run in which train departed BSL 40 mins late and still arrived BPL 5 mins before.
so, at Bhusawal, the halt time can increase from 5 mins to 15 mins for loco change of WCAM-2 to WAP-4... as for above mentioned reason of BSL-BPL slack time, this change is totally fine.
In UP direction, if BSL is made Loco change spot then Igatpuri halt will not be required! Train can run from Nasik to Kalyan non-stop as for up journey bankers are not required in ghat section.
PIC 2 & 3 needs no description but in pic 1, it's Sinhagad Express departing KYN, hauled by KYN WCAM-2, which i feel wastage of wcam-2
