Traction[edit]
Before the Mumbai region changed traction to an AC system, a WCAM-1 engine would haul the train until Vadodara from where a Vadodara-based WAP-4 or WAP-5 would take over until Hazrat Nizamuddin after which a WDM-3A engine from the Tuglakabad shed would take over until Haridwar.
Since Western Railways switched over to AC traction, a Ghaziabad-based WAP-7 hauls the train until Hazrat Nizamuddin after which a WDM-3A engine from the Tuglakabad shed takes over until Haridwar.
Now, both trains are hauled by a Ghaziabad-based WAP-7 / WAP-5 until Haridwar and vice versa.
