			Like all locomotive sheds, BZA does regular maintenance, overhaul and repair including painting and washing of locomotives. It not only attends to locomotives housed at BZA but to ones coming in from other sheds as well. It has four pit lines for loco repair. Locomotives of Vijayawada ELS along with Lallaguda ELS were the regular links for all trains running through Andhra Pradesh when widespread electrification of railway lines started in South Central Railways. It handled prestigious trains like [[Krishna Express]], [[East Coast Express (India)]], [[Chennai Central–Vijayawada Jan Shatabdi Express\|Vijayawada Jan Shatabdi Express]] and many more.
