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^[1]^[2]^[3]

Operations

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-5, WAG-7 etc. ^[4]^[5]

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. ^[6]^[7]

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. ^[8] 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 it's body.
