Currently, only two Rajdhani trains run between Delhi and Mumbai, and both pass through the Western Railway section

Centrail Railway's Rajdhani to undergo push-pull trials this week

A part of the train has arrived at the Wadibunder yard at Sandhurst Road

Speaking on condition of anonymity, a senior railway official said, "The RDSO will conduct confirmatory oscillograph car runs (COCR) and special trials for the train, a part of which arrived at the Wadibunder yard at Sandhurst Road on Friday night. The COCR are conducted mainly to help trains run at a speed above 120kmph." The official further said when a train has to move up a steep ghat, additional locomotives were attached to the rear to give it the required push. However, since adding locomotives takes a lot of time, a train enabled with the push-pull system proves a lot more helpful in saving time.
