	'''Diesel Loco Shed, Jhansi''' is a [[motive power depot]] located in [[Jhansi district\|Jhansi]], [[Uttar Pradesh]] in [[India]]. Like all the other sheds JHS does regular maintenance of maintenance of Diesel Locomotives in [[Indian Railways]]. It is now rated as one of the most premier shed of the Indian Railways. It falls under the jurisdiction of [[Jhansi railway division]] of the [[North Central Railway zone]]<ref>{{cite web\| title=Indian Railways\|url=http://www.indianrail.gov.in/enquiry/StaticPages/StaticEnquiry.jsp?StaticPage=index.html}}</ref><ref>{{cite web\|title=North Central Railway zone\|url=https://ncr.indianrailways.gov.in/}}</ref><ref>{{cite web\|title=Jhansi railway division\|url=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jhansi_railway_division}}</ref>
	~~[[File:JHS DLS Logo.jpg\|thumb\|centre\|150px\|Logo of '''Diesel Loco Shed, Jhansi''']]~~

	~~== Operations ==~~
	Like all locomotive sheds, Jhansi does regular maintenance, overhaul and repair including painting and washing of locomotives. It not only attends to locomotives housed at Jhansi but also to ones coming in from other sheds as well. It has four pit lines for loco repair.

	~~Locomotives of Jhansi shed are the regular links for all trains running through Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh.~~ Jhansi ~~locomotives used to be predominantly the regular links for trains traveling on the [[North Central Railway zone]] as well. As more and more~~ railway ~~lines were electrified, JHS DLS started receiving electric locomotives the [[Indian locomotive class WAG-7\|WAG7]] locomotives from nearby electric locomotive sheds.~~
	The Shed maintains a passenger link of 15 locomotives, which includes among others the prestigious like the [[Gita Jayanti Express]] & [[Bhopal–Khajuraho Mahamana Superfast Express\|Mahamana Express]], [[Ganga Kaveri Express]], Fast passengers trains and Link Express trains.
	It initially handled only ALCo locomotives like WDM-2, WDM-3D, WDG-3A etc. But gradually it started receiving EMD locomotives like WDP-4 and WDG-4. Being the only Diesel Loco Shed in the North Central Railway zone JHS does various major and minor maintenance of diesel locomotives including washing and painting of locomotives. It also started receiving electric traction locomotives like WAG-7 etc.<ref>{{cite web\|title=irfca\|url=https://www.irfca.org/faq/faq-shed.html}}</ref><ref>{{cite web\|title= DSL JHS\|url=https://ncr.indianrailways.gov.in/view_section.jsp?lang=0&id=0,1,396,404,561,585}}</ref>

	~~== History ==~~
	It was established in the year 1975 with only 5 WDM-2 class locomotives. Gradually it's capacity increased and it started to home mainy other ALCo and HHP locomotives. It has a sanctioned capacity of 80-100 locomotives. Because of the Railway's 100% electrification project, in 2020-21 it was decided that the shed will be converted into an electric loco shed.<ref>{{cite web\|title=JHS to be converted....\|url=https://news.railanalysis.com/north-central-railway-to-convert-diesel-loco-shed-at-jhansi-into-electric-loco-shed/}}</ref><ref>{{cite web\|title=Amar ujala\|url=https://www-amarujala-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.amarujala.com/amp/uttar-pradesh/jhansi/diesel-loco-shed-change-increase-railway-electronic-engine-jhansi-news-jhs196972736?amp_js_v=a6&amp_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQKKAFQArABIIACAw%3D%3D#aoh=16415304320412&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amarujala.com%2Futtar-pradesh%2Fjhansi%2Fdiesel-loco-shed-change-increase-railway-electronic-engine-jhansi-news-jhs196972736}}</ref>

	~~== Livery and Markings ==~~

	~~Indian Railways allows all loco sheds in Indian Railways to paint the locomotives as they wish. JHS Diesel~~ Loco ~~Shed also has its own unique colour scheme of Diesel locomotives.~~
	~~<ref>{{Cite web\|title=Liveries\|url=https://www.irfca.org/faq/faq-livery.html}}</ref> Like all other~~ sheds ~~JHS has its own stencils and Markings on the locomotives. It is written in bold letters on the loco's front, back and on its body.~~

	~~== History ==~~
	It was established in the year 1975 with only 5 WDM-2 class locomotives. Gradually it's capacity increased and it started to home mainy other ALCo and HHP locomotives. It has a sanctioned capacity of 80-100 locomotives. Because of the Railway's 100% electrification project, in 2020-21 it was decided that the shed will be converted into an electric loco shed.<ref>{{cite web\|title=JHS to be converted....\|url=https://news.railanalysis.com/north-central-railway-to-convert-diesel-loco-shed-at-jhansi-into-electric-loco-shed/}}</ref><ref>{{cite web\|title=Amar ujala\|url=https://www-amarujala-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.amarujala.com/amp/uttar-pradesh/jhansi/diesel-loco-shed-change-increase-railway-electronic-engine-jhansi-news-jhs196972736?amp_js_v=a6&amp_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQKKAFQArABIIACAw%3D%3D#aoh=16415304320412&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amarujala.com%2Futtar-pradesh%2Fjhansi%2Fdiesel-loco-shed-change-increase-railway-electronic-engine-jhansi-news-jhs196972736}}</ref>

	Locomotives of Jhansi shed are the regular links for all trains running through Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. Jhansi locomotives used to be predominantly the regular links for trains traveling on the [[North Central Railway zone]] as well. As more and more railway lines were electrified, JHS DLS started receiving electric locomotives the [[Indian locomotive class WAG-7\|WAG7]] locomotives from nearby electric locomotive sheds.
