The shed houses over 100 electric locomotives. It is the only loco shed on WR which had housed the AC/DC locomotives like WCAM-1 and WCAM-2, WCAM-2P and one of the only two in India; the other being [[Electric Loco Shed, Kalyan|Kalyan Loco Shed]] on [[Central Railway zone|Central Railway]] to house AC/DC dual powered electric locomotives.  Recently many WAG-5/5As have been homed at Valsad which are pure AC locomotives.
