Some differences in this new loco :-
Maximum permissible speed : 200 km/h (others 160)
Gear ratio : 59:35:19 (others 67:35:17)
VCU
...
more...
: TCN compliant (most of the others have MICAS)
Traction converters : Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) based with individual motor cut-out facility (most of the others are GTO)
Gear type : Alternate Drive Gear Assembly (most of the others have Hurth Coupling)
This will haul Gatimaan :D

Nope.Not exactly underutilized. It'll be used up to 150-160 km/h with Gatimaan and BPL Shatabdi.
Its full capability will be used later.

Nice pic with a WAG-9 just behind it... the Big size OHE Pole in the background seems to show that the location should be Burdwan, Asansol or Howrah :)
