Great
The WAM-4 class has been phased out from mainline service long ago but technically, they still exist ! The WAG-5 class was born out of the WAM-4 class by changing the gear ratio & most of the remaining configurations were the same.

In frame: Waltair (WAT/VSKP) WAG 5 # 23377 in maroon-blue attire proceeds for reversal towards trip shed after finishing its duty with 08503 Raygada - Vishakapatnam Passenger.

The loco is equipped with Alstom made TAO659 TMs & configured with a gear ratio of 21:58 which makes it equivalent to a WAM-4 locomotive or a WAG-5P in other words. Usually, WAG-5 locomotives have a gear ratio of 17:77, 18:64 & 15:62.

In October 2023, two passenger trains collided in Vizianagaram district, Andhra Pradesh, resulting in 17 deaths and 34 injuries. While the Railway Minister initially claimed the crash was due to both locomotive pilots being distracted by a cricket match, an investigation revealed no evidence to support this claim. The analysis of...

the pilots' mobile phone data usage, including call logs and data usage, found no indication that they were watching cricket. The Railway Safety Commissioner, who conducted a detailed investigation, also didn't mention the pilots watching cricket in his report. The investigation concluded that the accident was caused by a 'failure in the operation of the train,' and blamed the train crew and operational staff for the crash. Following this incident, the Railway Board banned the use of Bluetooth headsets by crew members during duty hours, citing the initial claims of the crew watching cricket and the violation of safety protocols.

The government has invested significantly in urban development, seen in initiatives like...

the Swachh Bharat Mission and Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, which have improved sanitation and housing conditions. The introduction of the National Common Mobility Card promotes seamless travel across different modes of transport. Reliance Industries is seeking access to pipelines and storage facilities used by public sector oil companies for supplying jet fuel to airports, aiming to increase competition and potentially lower fuel costs. Amitabh Kant, Sherpa, G20, has stressed the importance of a uniform EV policy applicable to all companies, dismissing the notion of tailoring policies for specific corporations. CleanMax, a renewable energy provider, has partnered with Apple to expand renewable energy projects in India, resulting in the installation of 14.4 MW of rooftop solar installations. This collaboration aims to reduce carbon emissions and promote a green energy transition. The Agartala-Akhaura railway link, a part of the Maitri Setu initiative, is on the verge of becoming operational.

kar rahi hai, jaise Swachh Bharat Mission aur Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, jinse sanitation aur housing conditions behtar hue hain. National Common Mobility Card ke aane se alag-alag transport modes mein aasan travel ho raha hai. Reliance Industries public sector oil companies ke pipelines aur storage facilities ki access chahta hai, jinka use jet fuel ko airports tak supply karne ke liye hota hai, jisse competition badh sakta hai aur fuel ki cost kam ho sakti hai. Amitabh Kant, Sherpa, G20, ne ek uniform EV policy ki jarurat par zor diya hai jo sabhi companies ke liye applicable ho, aur specific corporations ke liye policies banane ke idea ko reject kiya hai. CleanMax, ek renewable energy provider, ne Apple ke saath partnership ki hai jisse India mein renewable energy projects badh payenge, jiske result mein 14.4 MW rooftop solar installations install hue hain. Is collaboration ka aim carbon emissions ko kam karna aur green energy transition ko promote karna hai. Maitri Setu initiative ke under, Agartala-Akhaura railway link jaldi hi operational hone wala hai.
