**************** NO CONVENTIONAL & GTO TECHNOLOGY BASED LOCOS BY CLW AFTER SEPTEMBER 2015 *********
It's Official Now : "CLW will permanently STOP the Production of Conventional Locos as well as GTO Technology based 3-Phase Locos after September 2015"

It looks like WAP5s are climbing gradients with 23-24 coach SF trains of late :D /blog/post/1587320
The Thull Ghat limit starts from Kasara. This video was shot between Kalyan & Kasara (before Kasara), which is full of gradients. Even Punjab Mail also got GZB WAP5 once or twice (not sure though!) after ACfication.
Similarly, SR can arrange a makeshift 24 coach train, attach a WAP5 loco & test it on MAS-SBC sector (which is full of gradients), exactly what CR did at the time of ACfication. Let's see how they perform over...

********** Wikipedia is also Updated *********
In Wikipedia Page of WAP-7 it is Shown that from Oct 2015 onwards CLW will produce 3-Phase Loco ONLY.

Farewell to the red warriors of IR (WAP4s)! It's time for the white beasts to take the responsibilities of P4.
Absolutely.......
Waiting eagerly for the Historic Moment........

Here's an interesting coverage of WAP5 loco in Gurpa Gujhandi ghat section with 12260 NDLS SDAH Duronto. The rails are also somewhat damp due to rains. Here, the ruling gradient is 1:80 (which means for every 80 metres you cover, you go 1 metre up from the mean sea level, MSL), which is quite steep. Video date : 24/09/2011.
As you can see, the loco is absolutely stable. Similarly, it climbed with HWH Rajdhani & SDAH Rajdhani too.
