It was established in the 1970s specifically to home dual-power locos. It holds more than 50 WAG-5 class locomotives. Post AC conversion of Western Railway, few WAG-5, and all WCAM-2 fleet were transferred to Central Railway's Kalyan Loco Shed. WCAM-1 were slowly condemned. The shed received WAG-7 in 2013.
The shed houses over 100 electric locomotives. It is the only loco shed on WR which had housed the AC/DC locomotives like WCAM-1 and WCAM-2, WCAM-2P and one of the only two in India; the other being Kalyan Loco Shed on Central Railway to house AC/DC dual powered electric locomotives. Recently many WAG-5/5As have been homed at Valsad which are pure AC locomotives.
