Like all locomotive sheds, ED does regular maintenance, overhaul and repair including painting and washing of locomotives. It not only attends to locomotives housed at ED but to ones coming in from other sheds as well. It has four pit lines for loco repair. Locomotives of Erode ELS along with Arrakonam ELS and Royapuram ELS were the regular links for all trains running through Kerala and Tamil Nadu when widespread electrification of railway lines started in Southern Railways. It handled prestigious trains like the [[Millenium Express]], and the [[Grand Trunk Express]]. ED locomotives used to be predominantly the regular links for trains traveling to north as well.
