'''Diesel Loco Shed, Itarsi''' is an [[engine shed]] located in [[Itarsi]], [[Madhya Pradesh]] in [[India]]. Diesel Loco Shed, Itarsi does regular maintenance of Diesel locomotives in [[Indian Railways]]. It is now rated as one of the most premier shed of the Indian Railways. It is one of the two Diesel loco sheds in the [[West Central Railway zone]] followed by [[Katni]]. It falls under the [[Bhopal railway division]] of the [[West Central Railway zone|West Central Railway]] zone.<ref>[https://www.indianrail.gov.in/enquiry/StaticPages/StaticEnquiry.jsp?StaticPage=index.html Indian Railways]</ref><ref>[https://wcr.indianrailways.gov.in/ West Central Railways]</ref><ref>[https://wcr.indianrailways.gov.in/view_section.jsp?fontColor=black&backgroundColor=LIGHTSTEELBLUE&lang=0&id=0,1,291,1419 Bhopal railway division] </ref><br />
[[File:ET DLS Logo.jpg|thumb|centre|150px|Logo of '''Diesel Loco Shed, Itarsi''']]<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
As one of the oldest Diesel Loco Shed, It was opened in the year 1964 with a total no. Of 40 locos.<ref>[https://indianrailways.gov.in/railwayboard/uploads/directorate/mec_engg/downloads/DLS/wcr/Itarsi.pdf History]</ref><br />
<br />
== Operations ==<br />
This was the main Diesel Loco Shed that served Diesel Locomotives to the unelectrified Itarsi- Allahabad section.<br />
After the electrification of this section it is now servicing Diesel Locomotives to CRS inspections and many unelectrified and remote areas of the country. Locomotives of DLS ET are widely used for shunting purposes in nearby railway stations like Bhopal, Rani Kamalapati, Jabalpur etc. <ref>{{Cite web|title=IRFCA Indian Railways FAQ|url=http://www.irfca.org/faq/faq-shed.html|url-status=live}}</ref> Two Effluent Treatment plant and Incinerator are also available. It also has canteen facility for the staff members.<br />
<br />
== Livery and markings ==<br />
ET based ALCo locomotives have a standard blue livery with a white band between the blue tone which represented the old blue ICF coaches livery. ET based WDG-4 have a standard livery all over Indian Railways.<br />

'''Electric Loco Shed, Santragachi''' is a [[motive power depot]] performing locomotive maintenance and repair facility for electric locomotives of the [[Indian Railways]], located at [[Santragachhi]] of the [[South Eastern Railway zone]] in [[West Bengal]], India. It is one of the five electric loco sheds in SER others being at [[Electric Loco Shed, Bondamunda|Bondamunda]] (BNDM), [[Electric Loco Shed, Bokaro Steel City|Bokaro Steel City]] (BKSC), [[Electric Loco Shed, Rourkela|Rourkela]] (ROU) and [[Electric Loco Shed, Tatanagar|Tatanagar]] (TATA).<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
After South Eastern Railway set a deadline to eliminate all steam locomotive operations by 1990, a push was given towards establishing electric locomotion as the primary motive power, and the steam locomotive sheds were decommissioned.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Report of the Expert Committee on Coal Consumption on Railways, 1958|url=http://www.indianculture.gov.in/report-expert-committee-coal-consumption-railways-1958|access-date=2020-04-29|website=INDIAN CULTURE}}</ref> To meet the needs of exponentially increasing rail traffic on the new continuous broad-gauge lines from West Bengal and Jharkhand to rest of India the Santragachi was selected by Indian Railways for a new electric locomotive shed.<ref>{{cite web|title=Electric loco shed location|url=http://indiarailinfo.com/station/map/erode-junction-ed/39|access-date=2016-11-23}}</ref><br />
<br />
In the late 1999 the SRC ELS started its operations with 6 [[Indian locomotive class WAP-4|WAP-4]]. The new locomotive class [[Indian locomotive class WAP-7|WAP-7]] were introduced on 13 November 2017.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Nov 2019 Locomotive Holding list|url=http://elocos.railnet.gov.in/Holding/Holding_11_19.pdf}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Operations==<br />
Being one of the three electric engine sheds in South Eastern Railway, various major and minor maintenance schedules of electric locomotives are carried out here. It has the sanctioned capacity of 50 engine units. Beyond the operating capacity, this shed houses a total of 120 engine units including 60 [[Indian locomotive class WAP-4|WAP-4]], 54 [[Indian locomotive class WAP-7|WAP-7]], 6 [[Indian locomotive class WDG-4|WDG-4]] and 10 [[Indian locomotive class WDS-6|WDS-6]] units.<ref>{{cite web|title=Indian Railway-shed wise engine.holdings|url=http://www.indianrailways.gov.in/railwayboard/uploads/directorate/ele_engg/downloads/Shed_type_wise_holding_011015.pdf|access-date=2016-11-23|page=1}}</ref> Electric loco Shed, Santragachi is now housing a large fleet of [[Indian locomotive class WAP-4|WAP-4]] in Indian Railways and it caters to many long-distance electric trains.<ref>{{cite news|title=fleets under sheds|url=http://www.irfca.org/faq/faq-shed.html#sr|access-date=2016-11-23}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=List of Locos in amgul|url=http://www.irfca.org/apps/locos/list?authenticity_token=ReK61Xl7XaF1VJapJ63USw3GU20HKtdaWEzVPl%2Bwz28%3D&page=6&shed_id=15|access-date=2016-11-23}}</ref><br />
<br />
Like all locomotive sheds, SRC does regular maintenance, overhaul and repair including painting and washing of locomotives. It not only attends to locomotives housed at SRC but to ones coming in from other sheds as well. It has four pit lines for loco repair. Locomotives of Santragachi ELS along with Tatanagar ELS were the regular links for all trains running through West Bengal and Jharkhand when widespread electrification of railway lines started in South Eastern Railways. It handled prestigious trains like [[Aranyak Express]], [[Coromandel Express]], [[Rupashi Bangla Express]] and many more.<br />
<br />
==Livery and Markings==<br />
SRC has its own markings on the locomotives. The Shed mainly uses stencil marks which are present on loco's front and back body. SRC based WAP-4 can be identified by their cherry red colour. Other locomotives of SRC have a standardised livery all over India.<br />

The '''Jabalpur–Bhusaval section''' is a railway line connecting [[Jabalpur Junction railway station|Jabalpur]], [[Madhya Pradesh]] and {{stnlnk|Bhusaval}}, [[Maharashtra]]. This {{convert|552|km|mi|0|abbr= on}} track is part of the [[Howrah–Allahabad–Mumbai line]], one of the busiest railways in India. The line is under the jurisdiction of [[West Central Railway zone|West Central Railway]] and [[Central Railway zone|Central Railway]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The [[Great Indian Peninsula Railway]]'s pioneering Bombay–Thane line was extended to {{stnlnk|Kalyan}} in May 1854. {{stnlnk|Bhusaval}} station was set up in 1860. In 1866 Bhusaval-Khandwa section was opened. The GIPR connection reached [[Jabalpur Junction railway station|Jabalpur]] from [[Itarsi Junction railway station|Itarsi]] on 7 March 1870, linking up with the [[East Indian Railway Company]] track there from Allahabad, and establishing connectivity between Mumbai and Kolkata.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.irfca.org/faq/faq-hist.html| title=IR History: Early Days – I| work=Chronology of railways in India, Part 2 (1832–1865)| access-date = 17 November 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.irfca.org/faq/faq-history2.html| title=IR History: Early Days – II| work=Chronology of railways in India, Part 2 (1870–1899)| access-date = 17 November 2013}}</ref> Before construction of [[Indira Sagar Dam]] in 2004 on [[Narmada River|Narmada Valley]], the route was {{convert|537|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} long. The old alignment got submerged in 2004 due to [[Indira Sagar Dam]] & a new alignment was made which increased the route distance by {{convert|14|km|mi|0|abbr=on}}.<br />
<br />
==Electrification==<br />
While the Itarsi–Harda sector was electrified in 1990–91, the Harda–Khandwa–Bhusaval sector was electrified the next year.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://irfca.org/docs/electrification-history.html|title = History of Electrification| publisher= IRFCA| access-date = 17 November 2013}}</ref> The {{convert|605|km|mi}} long Naini Junction–Manikpur Junction–Stana Junction-Katni Junction-[[Jabalpur Junction railway station|Jabalpur]]–[[Itarsi Junction railway station|Itarsi]] route has been completely electrified under Vision 2020 – A Blue print for Railway Electrification Programme.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.indianrailways.gov.in/railwayboard/uploads/directorate/planning/downloads/vision_2020_blue_050411.pdf |title=Vision 2020 – A Blueprint for Railway Electrification |publisher=Ministry of Railways |access-date=17 November 2013 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120710212957/http://www.indianrailways.gov.in/railwayboard/uploads/directorate/planning/downloads/vision_2020_blue_050411.pdf |archivedate=10 July 2012 }}</ref><br />

<br />
The '''WDM-2G''' is a class of [[Diesel–electric transmission|diesel electric]] [[genset locomotive]] used in [[Indian Railways]]. It is one of the rarest locomotives in India with only two units being produced by [[Diesel-Loco Modernisation Works]]. The locomotives were produced with an intention of being fuel efficient and to be used for light to medium duties such as short passenger runs along with occasional [[Shunting (rail)|shunting]]. They are one of the only two classes of locomotives in India to feature multiple prime movers, the other example being WDS-6G, which was designed solely for shunting. They have a rated power of 2,400&nbsp;[[Horsepower|HP]].<br />
<br />
== Development ==<br />
Diesel locomotives had been the backbone of the Indian Railways. Within the diesel fleet, the [[American Locomotive Company|ALCOs]], [[Indian locomotive class WDM-2|WDM-2]], later upgraded to [[Indian locomotive class WDM-3A|WDM-3A]] and other variants, were, and to some extent even continue to be, the major workhorses. This was before the, relatively recent, push of the Railways for complete electrification of the network. Being the major user of diesel locomotives, naturally, a large chunk of railway money was spent to afford diesel fuel, of which the railways were the number one consumer.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Railways to introduce fuel-efficient multi-genset locomotives|url=https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/economy/logistics/railways-to-introduce-fuel-efficient-multi-genset-locomotives/article23101698.ece|last=Das|first=Mamuni|website=@businessline|language=en|access-date=2020-05-26}}</ref> Thus, with an aim to minimise pollution and fuel consumption, the development for WDM-2G, locos started. The specifications laid down by RDSO demanded the locomotive to be fuel efficient by using multiple engines (prime movers) which could be turned off or on depending on the load that the locomotive was pulling.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://rdso.indianrailways.gov.in/works/uploads/File/150408_FinalDraft_Spec_MP.0.2402.23_2400_1400%20BHP%20BG_Multigenset.pdf|title=RDSO specifications for genset locomotive|publisher=[[Research Design and Standards Organisation|RDSO]]}}</ref><br />
<br />
It was planned that the initial two locomotives would be produced by Diesel-Loco Modernisation Works, Patiala (DLMW) while the remaining units would be built at a factory in Sherpur of Sehore district. The factory was supposed to be a joint a venture between Daulat Ram Engineering Services, a railway component manufacturer, and [[United States|US]]-based locomotive re-manufacturer [[National Railway Equipment Company|National Railway Equipment Co]]. However, further reports about the plant have not been published and information has been scarce.<br />
<br />
== Performance and specifications ==<br />
The WDM-2G are inspired by the hundreds of gensets in service over [[North America]]. Being the first locomotives to be built by [[Diesel-Loco Modernisation Works]], they have certain features which are not found on regular locomotives in Indian Railways such as extensive use of marker and indication lamps and a cab structure inspired by the ones found on [[United States|American]] locomotives like [[EMD SD40-2]]. The locos, for the first time in India, featured K5LA multi chime horn, which proved to be a little quieter for Indian operations.<br />
<br />
On the inside, the locomotive features 3 prime movers, each of [[Cummins]] QSK-19 type which is a [[Engine configuration|6 cylinder]] [[Four-stroke engine|four stroke engine]] producing a power of 800 HP. The locomotive retained the ALCo high adhesion bogie from the WDM-2/3 locomotives but was moving by TM4907 for each axle which are a type of [[direct current]] [[traction motor]]. The locomotive has a weight of 117 tonnes distributed over 6 axles making an axle load of 19.5 tonnes/axle. The low weight limited the tractive effort to 37.2 tonnes force while allowing a speed up to 120kmph. Apart from that, the locomotives have dynamic braking, conventional braking and vigilance control device for driver alertness and safety.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|url=https://rdso.indianrailways.gov.in/works/uploads/File/WDM2G%20Final%20speed%20certificate1.pdf|title=RDSO speed certificate for WDM-2G|publisher=[[research Design and Standards Organisation|RDSO]]}}</ref><br />
<br />
The major advantage of these locomotives operationally offer is the reduced fuel consumption and lower emission. They reportedly consume 20% lesser fuel than locomotives of same specifications and power in the Railways. This also means that the resultant [[Nitrous oxide|nitrous oxides emission]] is lesser in these locos making them more environmentally friendly than the previous diesel locomotives of Indian Railways.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Railways introduce fuel-efficient multi-genset locomotives|url=https://www.firstpost.com/india/railways-introduce-fuel-efficient-multi-genset-locomotives-1049601.html|website=Firstpost|access-date=2020-05-26}}</ref><br />
<br />
== Service and future ==<br />
Two locomotives numbered 80000 and 80001 entered service in 2013 after [[Research Design and Standards Organisation|RDSO]] oscillation trials which certified them to be fit for {{Convert|120|km/h|mph|abbr=}} on mainline tracks and {{Convert|105|km/h|mph|abbr=}} on regular tracks.<ref name=":0" /> The locomotives were initially allocated to [[Itarsi Junction railway station|Itarsi (ET) loco shed]] of [[West Central Railway zone|West Central Railway]], however, in 2019, they were moved to Diesel loco shed [[Diesel Loco Shed, Vatva|Vatva (VTA)]] of [[Western Railway zone|Western Railway]] where they are currently used for shunting purposes.<br />
<br />
Despite the initial fanfare within the media, the locomotive did not enter serial production for Indian Railways. The major reasons for its failure can be attributed to the fact that the requirement of low powered locomotives has become quite low due to the long and heavy trains run in the country, the exception being shunting duties, for which plenty locos are available. The chief reason why production was not continued was due to the persuasion of [[Railway electrification system|route electrification]] in Indian Railways. Due to this the Indian Railways was not very keen on adding a whole new fleet of diesel locomotives, which even after being fuel efficient for a diesel, were still inferior to the electric locomotives, both in efficiency and power.<br />
<br />
== Locomotive shed ==<br />
The only two units ever built were allocated to [[Itarsi Junction railway station|Itarsi locomotive shed]] before being transferred to [[Diesel Loco Shed, Vatva|Vatva shed]], [[Western Railway zone|Western Railway]].<br />

'''Electric Loco Shed, Jhansi''' is a [[motive power depot]] performing locomotive maintenance and repair facility for electric locomotives of the [[Indian Railways]], located at [[Jhansi district|Jhansi]] of the [[North Central Railway zone]] in [[Uttar Pradesh]], India. It is one of the two electric loco sheds in the [[North Central Railway zone]] the other being at [[Electric Loco Shed, Kanpur|Kanpur]] (CNB).<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
After Central Railway (former, now under North Central Railway) set a deadline to eliminate all steam locomotive operations by 1990, a push was given towards establishing electric locomotion as the primary motive power, and the steam locomotive sheds were decommissioned.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Report of the Expert Committee on Coal Consumption on Railways, 1958|url=http://www.indianculture.gov.in/report-expert-committee-coal-consumption-railways-1958|access-date=2020-04-29|website=INDIAN CULTURE|language=en}}</ref> To meet the needs of exponentially increasing rail traffic on the new continuous broad-gauge lines from Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh to rest of India with the completion of gauge conversion, the Jhansi was selected by Indian Railways for a new electric locomotive shed.<ref>{{cite web|title=Electric loco shed location|url=http://indiarailinfo.com/station/map/erode-junction-ed/39|access-date=2016-11-23}}</ref><br />
<br />
In the late 1990s [[Indian locomotive class WAP-4|WAP-4]] were introduced which stayed until late 2000, when they were transferred to Bhusawal and Lallaguda. It later got a large fleet of [[Indian locomotive class WAG-5|WAG-5]] locos from Bhel Jhansi.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Nov 2019 Locomotive Holding list|url=http://elocos.railnet.gov.in/Holding/Holding_11_19.pdf}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Operations==<br />
Being one of the electric engine sheds in North Central Railway, various major and minor maintenance schedules of electric locomotives are carried out here. It has the sanctioned capacity of 150 engine units. Beyond the operating capacity, this shed houses a total of 242 engine units, including 38 [[Indian locomotive class WAP-4|WAP-4]], 117 [[Indian locomotive class WAG-5|WAG-5]] and 87 [[Indian locomotive class WAG-7|WAG-7]].Like all locomotive sheds, JHS does regular maintenance, overhaul and repair including painting and washing of locomotives.<ref>{{cite web|title=Sheds and Workshops|url = http://www.irfca.org/faq/faq-shed.html}}</ref> It handled prestigious trains like the [[Tulsi Express]], [[Sangam Express]], [[Ganga Kaveri Express]] and many more mail express and suferfast trains. <ref name="sheds">{{cite web| url = http://www.irfca.org/faq/faq-shed.html |title = Sheds and Workshops| publisher= IRFCA| access-date = 26 November 2013}}</ref><br />
<br />
== Livery and Markings ==<br />
Jhansi loco shed has its own logo and stencils. It is written on loco's body side as well as front & back side. JHS ELS based locomotives have a standardised livery all over India.<br />

'''Electric Loco Shed, Itarsi''' is a [[motive power depot]] performing locomotive maintenance and repair facility for electric locomotives of the [[Indian Railways]], located at [[Itarsi]] of the [[West Central Railway zone]] in [[Madhya Pradesh]], [[India]]. It is one of the major Electric loco shed in West Central Railway of the three sheds, others being at [[Electric Loco Shed, Tuglakabad|Tuglakabad]] (TKD) and New Katni Jn (NKJ). As of 1 December 2022 there are 171 locomotives in the Shed.<ref>[https://wcr.indianrailways.gov.in/view_section.jsp?fontColor=black&backgroundColor=LIGHTSTEELBLUE&lang=0&id=0,1,291,1419 Bhopal railway division]</ref><ref>[https://wcr.indianrailways.gov.in/ West Central Railways zone]</ref><ref>[https://wcr.indianrailways.gov.in/view_section.jsp?fontColor=black&backgroundColor=LIGHTSTEELBLUE&lang=0&id=0,1,291,1419,1424 "Electric shed WCR"]</ref><br />

<br />
With the completion of Bhopal-Khandwa Electrification in the year 1990-1991, new electric locomotive shed was inaugurated in July 1991 with 15 [[Indian locomotive class WAG-2|WAG-2]] which stayed until late 2000, when they were withdrawn from service. It later got a large fleet of [[Indian locomotive class WAM-4|WAM-4]] locos from [[Electric Loco Shed, Ajni|Ajni]] and [[Indian locomotive class WAG-5|WAG-5]] from other sheds but later some of these were then moved to other sheds and now all WAM-4 are withdrawn from service/scrapped. All [[Indian locomotive class WAG-5|WAG-5]] locos are either transferred to New Katni ELS, Katni DLS, Itarsi DLS or scrapped. New [[Indian locomotive class WAP-7|WAP-7]] locos were acquired in 2018. In November 2020, Itarsi ELS got its first WAG-9 locomotive.<ref>[https://wcr.indianrailways.gov.in/uploads/files/1557743669838-Main%20Page.pdf History PDF]</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Nov 2019 Locomotive Holding list|url=http://elocos.railnet.gov.in/Holding/Holding_11_19.pdf}}</ref><br />

Being one of the three electric engine sheds in West Central Railway, various major and minor maintenance schedules of electric locomotives are carried out here. It has the sanctioned augmented capacity of 175 locomotives units.

'''Electric Loco Shed, Itarsi''' is a [[motive power depot]] performing locomotive maintenance and repair facility for electric locomotives of the [[Indian Railways]], located at [[Itarsi]] of the [[West Central Railway zone]] in [[Madhya Pradesh]], [[India]]. It is one of the major Electric loco shed in West Central Railway of the three sheds, others being at [[Electric Loco Shed, Tuglakabad|Tuglakabad]] (TKD) and New Katni Jn (NKJ). As of 1 December 2022 there are 171 locomotives in the Shed.<ref>[https://wcr.indianrailways.gov.in/view_section.jsp?fontColor=black&backgroundColor=LIGHTSTEELBLUE&lang=0&id=0,1,291,1419 Bhopal railway division]</ref><ref>[https://wcr.indianrailways.gov.in/ West Central Railways zone]</ref><ref>[https://wcr.indianrailways.gov.in/view_section.jsp?fontColor=black&backgroundColor=LIGHTSTEELBLUE&lang=0&id=0,1,291,1419,1424 "Electric shed WCR"]</ref><br />

With the completion of Bhopal-Khandwa Electrification in the year 1990-1991, new electric locomotive shed was inaugurated in July 1991 with 15 [[Indian locomotive class WAG-2|WAG-2]] which stayed until late 2000, when they were withdrawn from service. It later got a large fleet of [[Indian locomotive class WAM-4|WAM-4]] locos from [[Electric Loco Shed, Ajni|Ajni]] and [[Indian locomotive class WAG-5|WAG-5]] from other sheds but later some of these were then moved to other sheds and now all WAM-4 are withdrawn from service/scrapped. All [[Indian locomotive class WAG-5|WAG-5]] locos are either transferred to New Katni ELS, Katni DLS, Itarsi DLS or scrapped. New [[Indian locomotive class WAP-7|WAP-7]] locos were acquired in 2018.

With the completion of Bhopal-Khandwa Electrification in the year 1990-1991, new electric locomotive shed was inaugurated in July 1991 with 15 [[Indian locomotive class WAG-2|WAG-2]] which stayed until late 2000, when they were withdrawn from service. It later got a large fleet of [[Indian locomotive class WAM-4|WAM-4]] locos from [[Electric Loco Shed, Ajni|Ajni]] and [[Indian locomotive class WAG-5|WAG-5]] from other sheds but later some of these were then moved to other sheds and now all WAM-4 are withdrawn from service/scrapped. All [[Indian locomotive class WAG-5|WAG-5]] locos are either transferred to New Katni ELS, Katni DLS, Itarsi DLS or scrapped. New [[Indian locomotive class WAP-7|WAP-7]] locos were acquired in 2018. In November 2020, Itarsi ELS got its first WAG-9 locomotive.<ref>[https://wcr.indianrailways.gov.in/uploads/files/1557743669838-Main%20Page.pdf History PDF]</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Nov 2019 Locomotive Holding list|url=http://elocos.railnet.gov.in/Holding/Holding_11_19.pdf}}</ref><br />

'''Electric Loco Shed, Itarsi''' is a [[motive power depot]] performing locomotive maintenance and repair facility for electric locomotives of the [[Indian Railways]], located at [[Itarsi]] of the [[West Central Railway zone]] in [[Madhya Pradesh]], India. It is one of the major Electric loco shed in West Central Railway of the three sheds, others being at [[Electric Loco Shed, Tuglakabad|Tuglakabad]] (TKD) and New Katni Jn (NKJ). As of 1 June 2022 there are 189 locomotives in the Shed.<ref>[https://wcr.indianrailways.gov.in/view_section.jsp?fontColor=black&backgroundColor=LIGHTSTEELBLUE&lang=0&id=0,1,291,1419 Bhopal railway division]</ref><ref>[https://wcr.indianrailways.gov.in/ West Central Railways zone]</ref><ref>[https://wcr.indianrailways.gov.in/view_section.jsp?fontColor=black&backgroundColor=LIGHTSTEELBLUE&lang=0&id=0,1,291,1419,1424 "Electric shed WCR"]</ref><br />

==History==<br />
Steam locomotives used to exist at Itarsi until the late 1970s.<ref>{{Cite web|title=[IRFCA] Indian Railways FAQ: Steam Locomotive Sheds in the 1970s|url=http://www.irfca.org/faq/faq-shed2.html#bgsr|website=www.irfca.org|access-date=2016-12-13}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=scan0189.jpg|url=https://www.irfca.org/gallery/Steam/collingwood/scan0189.jpg.html|website=www.irfca.org|access-date=2020-05-20}}</ref> After Central Railway (former, now under West Central Railways) set a deadline to eliminate all steam locomotive operations by 1990, a push was given towards establishing electric locomotion as the primary motive power, and the steam locomotive sheds were decommissioned.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Report of the expert Committee on Coal Consumption on Railways, 1958|url=http://www.indianculture.gov.in/report-expert-committee-coal-consumption-railways-1958|website=INDIAN CULTURE|language=en|access-date=2020-04-29}}</ref> To meet the needs of exponentially increasing rail traffic on the new continuous broad-gauge lines from Central Madhya Pradesh to rest of India with the completion of gauge conversion, the Itarsi was selected by Indian Railways for a new electric locomotive shed.<ref>{{cite web|title=Electric loco shed location|url=http://indiarailinfo.com/station/map/erode-junction-ed/39|access-date=2016-11-23}}</ref><br />
<br />
With the completion of Bhopal-Khandwa Electrification in the year 1990-1991, new electric locomotive shed was inaugurated in July 1991 with 15 [[Indian locomotive class WAG-2|WAG-2]] which stayed until late 2000, when they were withdrawn from service. It later got a large fleet of [[Indian locomotive class WAM-4|WAM-4]] locos from [[Electric Loco Shed, Ajni|Ajni]] and [[Indian locomotive class WAG-5|WAG-5]] from other sheds but later some of these were then moved to other sheds and now all WAM-4 are withdrawn from service/scrapped. All [[Indian locomotive class WAG-5|WAG-5]] locos are either transferred to New Katni ELS, Katni DLS and Itarsi DLS or scrapped. New [[Indian locomotive class WAP-7|WAP-7]] locos were acquired in 2018. In November 2020, Itarsi ELS got its first WAG-9 locomotive.<ref>[https://wcr.indianrailways.gov.in/uploads/files/1557743669838-Main%20Page.pdf History PDF]</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Nov 2019 Locomotive Holding list|url=http://elocos.railnet.gov.in/Holding/Holding_11_19.pdf}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Operations==<br />
Being one of the three electric engine sheds in West Central Railway, various major and minor maintenance schedules of electric locomotives are carried out here. It has the sanctioned augmented capacity of 175 locomotives units. Beyond the sactioned capacity, this shed houses a total of 185 engine units, including 19 [[Indian locomotive class WAP-4|WAP-4]], 55 [[Indian locomotive class WAP-7|WAP-7]] and 97 [[Indian locomotive class WAG-9|WAG-9]] and the holding numbers are going to increase in the near future as new locos have been allotted by Railway board to ET shed. Like all locomotive sheds, ET does regular maintenance, overhaul and repair including painting and washing of locomotives.<ref>{{cite web|title=Sheds and Workshops|url = http://www.irfca.org/faq/faq-shed.html}}</ref> It handled prestigious trains like the [[Amarkantak Express]]<ref>[http://amp.indiarailinfo.com/train/-train-amarkantak-express-12854/48/12/187 Amarkantak express]</ref>, [[Habibganj–Jabalpur Jan Shatabdi Express|Rani Kamlapati-Jabalpur Janshatabdi Express]]<ref>[http://amp.indiarailinfo.com/train/-train-rani-kamlapati-jabalpur-janshatabdi-express-12061/831/12923/529 Janshatabdi Express]</ref>,[[Madhya Pradesh Sampark Kranti Express|Sampark Kranti Express]], [[Malwa Express]] & [[Pune–Habibganj Humsafar Express|Humsafar Express]] and many more mail express and superfast trains. It used to hold the largest fleet of WAP-4 locomotives all over the Indian Railways.<br />
<br />
==Livery and Markings==<br />
Itarsi ELS has its own logo and stencils. It is written on loco's body side as well as front & back side.<br />
Itarsi [[Indian locomotive class WAP-4|WAP-4]]s can be identified by the mark 'ET' under a equilibrium sign on yellow circle beside the door of the locomotive.<br />

'''Electric Loco Shed, Itarsi''' is a [[motive power depot]] performing locomotive maintenance and repair facility for electric locomotives of the [[Indian Railways]], located at [[Itarsi]] of the [[West Central Railway zone]] in [[Madhya Pradesh]], India. It is one of the major Electric loco shed in West Central Railway of the three sheds, others being at [[Electric Loco Shed, Tuglakabad|Tuglakabad]] (TKD) and New Katni Jn (NKJ). As of 1 June 2022 there are 189 locomotives in the Shed.<ref>[https://wcr.indianrailways.gov.in/view_section.jsp?fontColor=black&backgroundColor=LIGHTSTEELBLUE&lang=0&id=0,1,291,1419 Bhopal railway division]</ref><ref>[https://wcr.indianrailways.gov.in/ West Central Railways zone]</ref><ref>[https://wcr.indianrailways.gov.in/view_section.jsp?fontColor=black&backgroundColor=LIGHTSTEELBLUE&lang=0&id=0,1,291,1419,1424 "Electric shed WCR"]</ref><br />

==History==<br />
Steam locomotives used to exist at Itarsi until the late 1970s.<ref>{{Cite web|title=[IRFCA] Indian Railways FAQ: Steam Locomotive Sheds in the 1970s|url=http://www.irfca.org/faq/faq-shed2.html#bgsr|website=www.irfca.org|access-date=2016-12-13}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=scan0189.jpg|url=https://www.irfca.org/gallery/Steam/collingwood/scan0189.jpg.html|website=www.irfca.org|access-date=2020-05-20}}</ref> After Central Railway (former, now under West Central Railways) set a deadline to eliminate all steam locomotive operations by 1990, a push was given towards establishing electric locomotion as the primary motive power, and the steam locomotive sheds were decommissioned.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Report of the expert Committee on Coal Consumption on Railways, 1958|url=http://www.indianculture.gov.in/report-expert-committee-coal-consumption-railways-1958|website=INDIAN CULTURE|language=en|access-date=2020-04-29}}</ref> To meet the needs of exponentially increasing rail traffic on the new continuous broad-gauge lines from Central Madhya Pradesh to rest of India with the completion of gauge conversion, the Itarsi was selected by Indian Railways for a new electric locomotive shed.<ref>{{cite web|title=Electric loco shed location|url=http://indiarailinfo.com/station/map/erode-junction-ed/39|access-date=2016-11-23}}</ref><br />
<br />
With the completion of Bhopal-Khandwa Electrification in the year 1990-1991, new electric locomotive shed was inaugurated in July 1991 with 15 [[Indian locomotive class WAG-2|WAG-2]] which stayed until late 2000, when they were withdrawn from service. It later got a large fleet of [[Indian locomotive class WAM-4|WAM-4]] locos from [[Electric Loco Shed, Ajni|Ajni]] and [[Indian locomotive class WAG-5|WAG-5]] from other sheds but later some of these were then moved to other sheds and now all WAM-4 are withdrawn from service/scrapped. All [[Indian locomotive class WAG-5|WAG-5]] locos are either transferred to New Katni ELS, Katni DLS and Itarsi DLS or scrapped. New [[Indian locomotive class WAP-7|WAP-7]] locos were acquired in 2018. In November 2020, Itarsi ELS got its first WAG-9 locomotive.<ref>[https://wcr.indianrailways.gov.in/uploads/files/1557743669838-Main%20Page.pdf History PDF]</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Nov 2019 Locomotive Holding list|url=http://elocos.railnet.gov.in/Holding/Holding_11_19.pdf}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Operations==<br />
Being one of the three electric engine sheds in West Central Railway, various major and minor maintenance schedules of electric locomotives are carried out here. It has the sanctioned augmented capacity of 175 locomotives units. Beyond the sactioned capacity, this shed houses a total of 185 engine units, including 75 [[Indian locomotive class WAP-4|WAP-4]], 23 [[Indian locomotive class WAP-7|WAP-7]] and 87 [[Indian locomotive class WAG-9|WAG-9]] and the holding numbers are going to increase in the near future as new locos have been allotted by Railway board to ET shed. Like all locomotive sheds, ET does regular maintenance, overhaul and repair including painting and washing of locomotives.<ref>{{cite web|title=Sheds and Workshops|url = http://www.irfca.org/faq/faq-shed.html}}</ref> It handled prestigious trains like the [[Amarkantak Express]], [[Habibganj–Jabalpur Jan Shatabdi Express|Rani Kamlapati-Jabalpur Janshatabdi Express]], [[Madhya Pradesh Sampark Kranti Express|Sampark Kranti Express]], [[Malwa Express]] & [[Pune–Habibganj Humsafar Express|Humsafar Express]] and many more mail express and suferfast trains. It currently holds 2nd largest fleet of WAP-4 locomotives all over the Indian Railways.<br />
<br />
==Livery and Markings==<br />
Itarsi ELS has its own logo and stencils. It is written on loco's body side as well as front & back side.<br />
Itarsi [[Indian locomotive class WAP-4|WAP-4]]s can be identified by the mark 'ET' under a equilibrium sign on yellow circle beside the door of the locomotive.<br />

'''Electric Loco Shed, Itarsi''' is a [[motive power depot]] performing locomotive maintenance and repair facility for electric locomotives of the [[Indian Railways]], located at [[Itarsi]] of the [[West Central Railway zone]] in [[Madhya Pradesh]], India. It is one of the major Electric loco shed in West Central Railway of the three sheds, others being at [[Electric Loco Shed, Tuglakabad|Tuglakabad]] (TKD) and New Katni Jn (NKJ). As of 1 June 2022 there are 189 locomotives in the Shed.<ref>[https://wcr.indianrailways.gov.in/view_section.jsp?fontColor=black&backgroundColor=LIGHTSTEELBLUE&lang=0&id=0,1,291,1419 Bhopal railway division]</ref><ref>[https://wcr.indianrailways.gov.in/ West Central Railways zone]</ref><ref>[https://wcr.indianrailways.gov.in/view_section.jsp?fontColor=black&backgroundColor=LIGHTSTEELBLUE&lang=0&id=0,1,291,1419,1424 "Electric shed WCR"]</ref><br />

<br />
==History==<br />
Steam locomotives used to exist at Itarsi until the late 1970s.<ref>{{Cite web|title=[IRFCA] Indian Railways FAQ: Steam Locomotive Sheds in the 1970s|url=http://www.irfca.org/faq/faq-shed2.html#bgsr|website=www.irfca.org|access-date=2016-12-13}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=scan0189.jpg|url=https://www.irfca.org/gallery/Steam/collingwood/scan0189.jpg.html|website=www.irfca.org|access-date=2020-05-20}}</ref> After Central Railway (former, now under West Central Railways) set a deadline to eliminate all steam locomotive operations by 1990, a push was given towards establishing electric locomotion as the primary motive power, and the steam locomotive sheds were decommissioned.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Report of the expert Committee on Coal Consumption on Railways, 1958|url=http://www.indianculture.gov.in/report-expert-committee-coal-consumption-railways-1958|website=INDIAN CULTURE|language=en|access-date=2020-04-29}}</ref> To meet the needs of exponentially increasing rail traffic on the new continuous broad-gauge lines from Central Madhya Pradesh to rest of India with the completion of gauge conversion, the Itarsi was selected by Indian Railways for a new electric locomotive shed.<ref>{{cite web|title=Electric loco shed location|url=http://indiarailinfo.com/station/map/erode-junction-ed/39|access-date=2016-11-23}}</ref><br />
<br />
With the completion of Bhopal-Khandwa Electrification in the year 1990-1991, new electric locomotive shed was inaugurated in July 1991 with 15 [[Indian locomotive class WAG-2|WAG-2]] which stayed until late 2000, when they were withdrawn from service. It later got a large fleet of [[Indian locomotive class WAM-4|WAM-4]] locos from [[Electric Loco Shed, Ajni|Ajni]] and [[Indian locomotive class WAG-5|WAG-5]] from other sheds but later some of these were then moved to other sheds and now all WAM-4 are withdrawn from service/scrapped. All [[Indian locomotive class WAG-5|WAG-5]] locos are either transferred to New Katni ELS, Katni DLS and Itarsi DLS or scrapped. New [[Indian locomotive class WAP-7|WAP-7]] locos were acquired in 2018. In November 2020, Itarsi ELS got its first WAG-9 locomotive.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Nov 2019 Locomotive Holding list|url=http://elocos.railnet.gov.in/Holding/Holding_11_19.pdf}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Operations==<br />
Being one of the three electric engine sheds in West Central Railway, various major and minor maintenance schedules of electric locomotives are carried out here. It has the sanctioned augmented capacity of 175 locomotives units. Beyond the sactioned capacity, this shed houses a total of 185 engine units, including 75 [[Indian locomotive class WAP-4|WAP-4]], 23 [[Indian locomotive class WAP-7|WAP-7]] and 87 [[Indian locomotive class WAG-9|WAG-9]] and the holding numbers are going to increase in the near future as new locos have been allotted by Railway board to ET shed. Like all locomotive sheds, ET does regular maintenance, overhaul and repair including painting and washing of locomotives.<ref>{{cite web|title=Sheds and Workshops|url = http://www.irfca.org/faq/faq-shed.html}}</ref> It handled prestigious trains like the [[Amarkantak Express]], [[Habibganj–Jabalpur Jan Shatabdi Express|Rani Kamlapati-Jabalpur Janshatabdi Express]], [[Madhya Pradesh Sampark Kranti Express|Sampark Kranti Express]], [[Malwa Express]] & [[Pune–Habibganj Humsafar Express|Humsafar Express]] and many more mail express and suferfast trains. It currently holds 2nd largest fleet of WAP-4 locomotives all over the Indian Railways.<br />
<br />
==Livery and Markings==<br />
Itarsi ELS has its own logo and stencils. It is written on loco's body side as well as front & back side.<br />
Itarsi [[Indian locomotive class WAP-4|WAP-4]]s can be identified by the mark 'ET' under a equilibrium sign on yellow circle beside the door of the locomotive.<br />
