How does a division/station decide on the locomotive links of a train.
How is it decided so as to allocate a particular locomotive to a particular train!
And why is that some "Super slow crawlers" like howrah amristar, toofan express and kolkata chitpur get high speed locomotive Wap4, whilst relatively much faster trains like kolkata ahmedabad via cic and hwh-rnc intercity(via er and ecr run) get Wam4s!
Shouldn't

a faster loco be allocated to the faster trains!
Don't you think Wap4s are wasted on trains like toofan !

1st point is loco availability.
2nd points is due to trains have more halts will need loco with better acceleration for crawler and passengers trains.
totally agree with you
