Recently CLW has Rolled Out a WAP-5 Locomotive having Loco No:30086 with IGBT Based Propulsion System which is the 1st WAP-5 of Indian Railways having Speed Potential of 200km/hr. This Loco was 1st allotted to BRC Shed but later after completion of Field Trial of this Locomotive in the Last Month it is finally allotted to Ghaziabad ELS of Northern Railway.
The...
more... Field Trial of WAP-5 30086 has been completed at ASN Division on August 2015
Field Trial of WAP-5 30086 CompletedNow do you think this Loco can operate to it's Full Potential i.e 200 km/hr on IR Tracks where 160 km/hr is the Maximum Permissible Speed For WAP-5 in all Rajdhani Routes(Track Standard C&M 1 Vol-1)and Lower to 110-120 km/hr for Non-Rajdhani Routes.(Though we find hardly any WAP-5 in any Non-Rajdhani Route of IR)
If Gatiman Exp would be introduced by IR with this Loco then Will this WAP-5 be used with other Trains except Gatiman Exp ?
OR
This Loco will be UNDER UTILISED in IR
