The Diesel Loco Shed, Siliguri is a motive power depot performing locomotive maintenance and repair work for diesel locomotives of the Indian Railways.[1] Located at the Siliguri Junction (SGUJ) in Siliguri, West Bengal, it is one of the three diesel loco sheds under Northeast Frontier Railway zone.[2]
Like all locomotive sheds, Siliguri does regular maintenance, overhaul and repair (including painting and washing) of locomotives. It not only attends to locomotives housed at Siliguri but also to the ones coming in from other sheds. The shed has a sanctioned homing capacity of 100 locomotives and four pit lines for loco repair.[3]: 156 In 2026, it was allotted the new 4,500 HP (3.4 MW) WDG-4G and 6,000 HP (4.5 MW) WDG-6G locomotives of the GE Evolution Series, making it the fourth shed in Indian Railways (after Roza, Gandhidham and Gooty) and the first one in Northeast India, to home these locomotives.[4]
