Like all locomotive sheds, Alambagh Lucknow does regular maintenance, overhaul and repair including painting and washing of locomotives. It not only attends to locomotives housed at Alambagh Lucknow but also to ones coming in from other sheds as well. It has four pit lines for loco repair. | ||
Locomotives of Alambagh Lucknow shed along with [[Diesel Loco Shed, Tughlakabad|Tuglakabad]] shed are the regular links for all trains running through Uttar Pradesh and Delhi. Alambagh Lucknow locomotives used to be predominantly the regular links for trains traveling on the [[Northern Railway zone]] as well. As more and more railway lines were electrified, AMV (LKO) started losing links to electric locomotives, mainly [[Indian locomotive class WAP-1|WAP1]] and [[Indian locomotive class WAG-7|WAG7]] locomotives from nearby electric locomotive sheds. | |||
The Shed maintains a passenger link of 21 locomotives, which includes among others the prestigious like the [[Bagh Express]] & [[Lucknow–Raipur Garib Rath Express|Garib Rath Express]] and [[Kamakhya–Gandhidham Express]] Fast passengers trains and Link Express trains. | |||
The shed has a water recycling plant which recycles 6k litres of water daily in washing of Locomotives.<ref> {{cite web|title=Water recycling plant|url=https://m-timesofindia-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/m.timesofindia.com/city/lucknow/railways-recycles-6k-litres-of-waste-water-daily-at-diesel-loco-shed-in-alambagh/amp_articleshow/81071426.cms?usqp=mq331AQKKAFQArABIIACAw%3D%3D&_js_v=a6&_gsa=1#referrer=https://www.google.com&csi=0}} </ref><ref>{{cite web|title=PDF|url=https://indianrailways.gov.in/railwayboard/uploads/directorate/mec_engg/downloads/DLS/NR/Alambagh.pdf}} </ref> | The shed has a water recycling plant which recycles 6k litres of water daily in washing of Locomotives.<ref> {{cite web|title=Water recycling plant|url=https://m-timesofindia-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/m.timesofindia.com/city/lucknow/railways-recycles-6k-litres-of-waste-water-daily-at-diesel-loco-shed-in-alambagh/amp_articleshow/81071426.cms?usqp=mq331AQKKAFQArABIIACAw%3D%3D&_js_v=a6&_gsa=1#referrer=https://www.google.com&csi=0}} </ref><ref>{{cite web|title=PDF|url=https://indianrailways.gov.in/railwayboard/uploads/directorate/mec_engg/downloads/DLS/NR/Alambagh.pdf}} </ref> | ||
