}}Vadodara Electric Loco Shed is an electric engine shed located in Vadodara, in the Indian state of Gujarat. It is located to south of Vadodara railway station, it falls under the Vadodara railway division of Western Railway. It is the largest of locomotive sheds in the Western Railway zone. The shed houses more than 130 locomotives, which include WAP 4, WAP-5, WAP 7, WAM 4, WAG 5, WAG 9 locomotives. [1][2][3][4][5]

History

It was established in the 1970s specifically to home dual-power locos. It holds more than 50 WAG 5 class locomotives. Shed received WAG-7 in 2013.

It was an AC electric trip shed to house locos coming from other sheds and an AC/DC dual loco trip shed which houses WCAM class locomotives from Valsad shed and which allows locomotive changes at Vadodara because the trains which were coming from New Delhi mainline are AC Locomotives and the trains going to Mumbai need AC/DC Loco.

Post AC conversion of Western Railway, WCAM 1 & WCAM 2/2P fleet transferred to Central Railway's Kalyan Loco Shed. WCAM 1 were slowly condemned.

Rolling stock

The shed homes about 200 diesel locomotives of varied types, which are its primary rolling stock of the shed.
