Traction

[edit]

Before the Mumbai region changed traction to an AC system, Valsad based WCAM-1 engine would haul the train until Vadodara from where a Vadodara-based WAP-4 or WAP-5 would take over until Hazrat Nizamuddin after which a WDM-3A engine from the Tuglakabad shed would take over until Haridwar.

Since Western Railways switched over to AC traction, a Ghaziabad-based WAP-7 hauls the train until Hazrat Nizamuddin after which a WDM-3A engine from the Tuglakabad shed takes over until Haridwar.

Now, both trains are hauled by a Vadodara/Valsad-based WAP-7 until Haridwar and vice versa.
