11008 Pune - Mumbai CSMT Deccan Express I Full Monsoon Journey.
[History Of Deccan Express]
The Deccan Queen has a distinction of being the first intercity passenger train to be hauled by an electric locomotive, and also not using the reversing station at Bhor Ghat, which was abandoned in 1929 following electrification and construction of new tunnels.[9] When it was introduced in 1930, the Deccan Queen was hauled by WCP 1 or WCP-2 DC passenger locomotives. From 1954 till the 1990s, it was hauled by a WCM-1/2/4/5 DC mixed locomotive. From 1992 to 1996, when the WCM locomotives began failing from age, it was hauled by the WCG-2. From the 1997, it has been hauled end to end by a WCAM-3 or WCAM-2/2P DC/AC locomotive of the Kalyan shed. Starting 1 June 2018, on its 88th anniversary, it was occasionally hauled by the WAP-7 of the Ajni shed.[10] As of March 2024, the Deccan Queen is hauled by either WCAM-3, WCAM-2/2P or WAP-7 of the Kalyan shed.

At Karjat, until the 1970s, the Deccan Queen received 3-4 WCG-1 DC banker locomotives on the Bhor Ghat section to push the train between Karjat and Lonavala, where the gradient is of 1 in 40. Until May 2010, before the Bhor Ghat was converted to 25 kV AC, the Deccan Queen was pushed by bankers of 2-3 WCG-2 DC locomotives, and later on by WCAG-1 dual locomotives. As of March 2024, it gets two or three WAG-5, WAG-7, WCAM-2 or WCAM-3 bankers of Kalyan shed.
