Traction

As sections of the route are yet to be fully electrified, until January 2014 a Kalyan based WCAM 3 hauled the train from Lokmanya Tilak Terminus until Igatpuri handing over to a Bhusaval based WAP 4 until Jhansi Junction after which a Lucknow based WDM 3A would power the train for the remainder of its journey.

With Central Railways progressively moving towards a complete changeover from DC to AC traction, it is now hauled by a Bhusaval based WAP 4 or WAM 4 from Lokmanya Tilak Terminus until Jhansi Junction after which a Lucknow based WDM 3A powers the train for the remainder of its journey.
