It's a SF train but gets treated worse than a passenger train.

Here's a video someone uploaded of Patna-Vasco SF EXP (12742) hauled by WAG-9H on its first LHB Run from PNBE overall upgrading it to LHB is of no use if a WAG engine is used to haul it restricting it to 100 Kmph. Credits : Railway Rythms.

It is better to revert this train to KJM WDP4D end to end it's previous loco link if WAP4/7 is not available. Also Pantry car should be added to this train too.

It's how things work on this site. When you share content like photo or video not of your own you should mention that person's name.
