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.

at 6000 HP, six units (26000-26005) were built & delivered between December 1987 and January 1988. These locomotives had Bo-Bo-Bo wheel arrangement and were controlled by thyristors. They had majorly served the Kirandul - Kottavalasa line throughout their entire service life.

Interestingly, the first unit "26000" was delivered by ASEA in December, 1987 & rest of the 5 units 26001-005 were delivered by ABB in January, 1988 post merger.

General Swedish Electrical Limited Company or Allmanna Svenska Elektriska Aktiebolaget (ASEA) in Swedish later merged with Brown Boveri on 1st January 1988 to form ABB (Asean Brown Boveri).
