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. <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&_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQKKAFQArABIIACAw%3D%3D#aoh=16415304320412&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&_tf=From%20%251%24s&share=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amarujala.com%2Futtar-pradesh%2Fjhansi%2Fdiesel-loco-shed-change-increase-railway-electronic-engine-jhansi-news-jhs196972736}} </ref>
