Reached delhi today (27-02-2012) via this train and it was hauled by WAP-4 from end to end and arrived 1 hr late at the ndls stn. i believe if it had been hauled by WAP-5/7 the loco would have tried covering the time since wap-5/7 are more powerful than the WAP-4's. Does it make sense?
And also the train reached MGS late by good 35-40 mins thus it had all the time in the world to cover that lost time.

No, I personally doesn't agree with it that, WAP-4 are incapable of making up lost time.
I myself had an nice experience of WAP-4 from Howrah shed (in those days it was hauled by), the train was 12869 HOWRAH SUP EXP, It was late about 2.5 Hrs at Tata Nagar.Jn around 17:30 Hrs with thundering speed over 100 KMPH with old ICF coaches that support 110KMPH, overtaking BARBIL HWH JANSHATABDI EXP at Rakha Mines reached Kharagpur at 19:10 Hrs, then blazing past SER's EMU reached Santragachi at 20:28Hrs, and finally Howrah at 20:50Hrs after waiting for some signal between Tikiapara and GT Road...
