	The Gooty Diesel Loco Shed is one of India's largest locomotive shed with over 400 locos. It handles routine maintenance for [[WDG-4]] and [[WDP-4]] locos.~~<~~ref~~>~~{{cite web \|url=https://irfca.org/faq/faq-shed.html \|title=Sheds and Workshops \|work=IRFCA \|access-date=23 February 2017}}~~<~~/ref~~>~~		The Gooty Diesel Loco Shed is one of India's largest locomotive shed with over 400 locos.

	In 2016, the shed was allotted EMD 710 [[WDG-5]] locomotives. Based on the [[SD80MAC]], these vehicles were equipped with a 20-cylinder version of the [[EMD 710\|710 prime mover]] and had a higher power output of 5,500 hp (4.1 MW). 3 units – 50003, 50004 and 50005 – were assigned, but were only homed till December 2017 due to maintenance difficulties. Post this, they were sent to the [[Diesel Loco Shed, Sabarmati\|Sabarmati Shed (SBT)]] of the [[Western Railway zone\|Western Railway]] to be homed with other locos of the same class.

	In 2023, the shed received new-generation 4,500 hp (3.4 MW) [[WDG-4G]] and 6,000 hp (4.5 MW) [[WDG-6G]] locomotives. Based on the [[GE Transportation\|GE]] [[GE Evolution Series\|Evolution Series]] platform, these new vehicles have completely replaced its ageing [[ALCO DL560C]] fleet. This made it the 3rd shed in the entire IR network, after [[Railway Settlement Roza\|Roza]] (ROZA) and [[Gandhidham Junction railway station\|Gandhidham]] (GIMB), and the first one in South India, to home these locos.~~<~~ref~~>~~{{cite press release \|last= \|first= \|date=25 July 2024 \|title=Wabtec Expands Locomotive Services Capabilities in India as the Gooty Maintenance Shed in Andhra Pradesh Starts Operations \|url=https://www.wabteccorp.com/newsroom/press-releases/wabtec-expands-locomotive-services-capabilities-in-india-as-the-gooty-maintenance-shed-in-andhra-pradesh-starts \|location=[[Gooty]] \|publisher=[[Wabtec]] \|agency= \|access-date=21 February 2026}}~~<~~/ref~~>~~		In 2023, the shed received new-generation 4,500 hp (3.4 MW) [[WDG-4G]] and 6,000 hp (4.5 MW) [[WDG-6G]] locomotives.
