The 15017 / 15018 Kashi Express is a regular express train of Indian Railways, running between Lokmanya Tilak Terminus, Mumbai, the capital city of Maharashtra, and Gorakhpur Junction, the prominent city of Uttar Pradesh.
The train generally consists of a total of 22 coaches as follows:
As Central Railways completed its DC–AC conversion on 12 February 2014, a Bhusawal or Itarsi-based WAP-4 hauls the train from Lokmanya Tilak Terminus to Itarsi after which an Itarsi-based WDM-3A/3D hauls the train for the remainder of its journey until Gorakhpur.
Before 12 February 2014, this train was hauled by a Kalyan-based WCAM-3 locomotive between LTT and as the route was DC electrified.
