Like all locomotive sheds, HWH does regular maintenance, overhaul and repair including painting and washing of locomotives. It not only attends to locomotives housed at HWH but to ones coming in from other sheds as well. It has four pit lines for loco repair. Locomotives of Howrah ELS along with Asansol and Royapuram ELS were the regular links for all trains running through West Bengal when widespread electrification of railway lines started in Eastern Railways. It handled prestigious trains like the [[Howrah Rajdhani Express]]. HWH locomotives used to be predominantly the regular links for trains traveling to north as well. | Like all locomotive sheds, HWH does regular maintenance, overhaul and repair including painting and washing of locomotives.
