No, it Won't require any more load testing! it was just a case of having all bases covered! Out of the 4 lines authorities had already tested on 3 of them with EMUs,so they decided to test the 3rd line (down fast) with a long distance train. Hence, they made a makeshift 24 coach ICF load & elected a WAP5 for the testing! Choice of WAP5 surprised most of us..as they could have chosen any other loco instead!
