Re# 5005981-19              
For a like on like comparison I had found travel time based on similar road as that of the train route, and that gave me 13+ hour route when I checked yesterday afternoon. Now it is showing 12-ish hours as it is much later in day.
A direct route, would obviously, take much lesser than that, but the point of this train was not to just connect karwar to bangalore, but rather entirety of coastal karnataka to bangalore.

Because diesel zindabad tha, zindabad hai aur zindabad rahega :p
Jk, electric loco ka shayaad availability nahi rahega as many trains are being operated towards north, same being the issue with e loco crew.
There are other issues, most notably with height of OHE and top of tanker being quite close and no earthing being done between tanker body and rails, but if that was the main issue they would have taken non electrified route outwards.

"OHE power block demaned 2.00hrs, but traffic power block given 13.05-14.35hrs for OHE height increasing for Oxygen spl passing between Niwar-Katni South, Power block cancelled at 14.50hrs. Major Section: JBP-KTE, Minor/Sec-SBD-KTES"

As mentioned above there is issue with OHE height and the risk of arcing and subsequent explosion as the tanker passes very close to overhead wire in certain areas. Having diesel loco helps in this case.
