9 can be used by SER to haul Duronto and other mail/exp. Though it is a freight loco but presently it is used to haul Mail Exp in many zones on failure of the "Usual Link" of the concerned Mail/Exp.
Not only this incident, there are many instances where SRC WAP4s failed in the route and WAG9/WAG7 had done the duty........ till the last destination of the train.
Moreover SER should check these old WAP 4s regularly and restore their operating condition as this zone purely depends on these "Red Monsters".
In Future if "White Lions"(p5 & p7) will be permitted by the Zonal Officials and the RailBoard to be housed at SRC Shed then the enormous load of these "Red Monsters" will be reduced to a considerable extent.
Till then SER should keep some WAG9 & WAG7 for providing accidental support to the existing "Red Beasts".
The last picture is of the new version WAG 9H prepared by CLW
