It also started receiving electric traction locomotives like 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]
