Locomotion
As Central Railways completed its DC–AC conversion on 12 February 2014, a Bhusawal or Itarsi-based WAP-4 hauls the train from Lokmanya Tilak Terminus to Itarsi after which an Itarsi-based WDM-3A/3D hauls the train for the remainder of its journey until Gorakhpur.

Before 12 February 2014, this train was hauled by a Kalyan-based WCAM-3 locomotive between LTT and Igatpuri as the route was DC electrified.
