Now the days WCAM2 Haul DQ Discussions with few staff members revealed that there were instructions to Pune ETS to start using KYN WCAM2/2P Engines on Pune-CSTM-Pune DQ. Earlier (for last many years) the instructions were to use ONLY Kalyan WCAM3 loco for DQ. It is also understood that 2 extra KYN WCAM3 (which will be freed due to WCAM2P being used on DQ) will be used by CSTM Operations to run some 22+ coach trains to/from CSTM to ET. Also, these WCAM3 will act as back-up for WAP4 locos (that is, if WAP4 coming with some train to CSTM is reported with issue, then WCAM3 will be used to haul outgoing train till WAP4 repairs is done, etc)
****As per...

The HP graph of DQ's regular locomotive links till now looks going up, sadly it shall go down slightly. That is all what I wanted to convey
