Aarav Ranjan 32 blog postsI don't know if any one has noticed it...but there is a shortage of WAP 5 locos in ECR. I haven't seen one on this route. It is the best loco after WAP 7 and WAG 9. But Although ECR has many WAP 7 and WAP4 at their disposal, No WAP5..I would like to see one...great acceleration..probably the best.

Loco link allocation is very complicated process. WAP5 locos are based only in 2 loco sheds - BRC and GZB. ECR has got only WAP4's, no WAP7's.
WAP7 locos enter ECR because trains like Rajdhanis, SDAH/HWH Duronto, Poorva SF etc get a WAP7 from ER (HWH) or NR (GZB).
Trains like Chennai Rajdhani, Chennai Duronto, NDLS PDY SF, DEE YPR Duronto used to get WAP5 when their link allocation was from GZB shed (NR). Now they get LGD (SCR) WAP7.
