Loco link

Prior end 2017 due to partial electrification of the route, an Arakkonam or Royapuram-based WAP-4 or WAP-7 would haul the train between Chennai Central & KSR Bengaluru Station handing over to a Hubli-based WDP-4 which would then power the train up to Mysuru Junction.

Since the entire route is now completely electrified, the train is now hauled end to end by a Royapuram or Erode based WAP-7 locomotive which are equipped with head-on generation(HOG) technology.
