I guess If SER gets WAP 7 then it will be of SRC because it could get best possible service for a three phaser at SRC only ! Even WAP 4's are shifted back to SRC from TATA for obvious reasons !!!
Loco manufacture & dispatch is slow, too expensive for a loss-making institution like IR. FDI is the new support system, that we expect, to give it a new life... WAP-7 being alloted on busy Rajdhani routes.. Now you might understand what I am pointing towards...

Splendid pic.... the Sealdah - New Delhi Duronto Express runs with a 3-Stoppage Schedule (Although Technical) that the Howrah Rajdhani used to have in the 1970s uptil the early 1990s... ab toh is train ke schedule ka band baj gaya hain :-p ;-D
Ab Duronto WAP 5 initiated Schedule pe WAP 4 leke niklega to zada expectation nahi hona chahiye !!!
