(HD) BIA WAP-7 ventures SER first time!! Brand new babe toys with puny Nanded Superfast!!
.
Video No.- 1437
At one time till a couple of years back, no 3- Phaser Passenger Locomotive entered SER's Kharagpur- Howrah stretch due to lack of technical knowledge of these locomotives of SRC ETS' engineers.
But

more...
the floodgates opened once the Mumbai L.T.T. (LTT)- Howrah (HWH) SAMRASTA Superfast made its way with an ABB GZB's WAP-5. Since then, WAP- 7 had gradually made its way in this stretch in fixed interval, with various trains, like GEETANJALI Superfast, EAST COAST Express, Mumbai DURONTO, JNANESHWARI Superfast, L.T.T.- Shalimar Express, and so on. AJNI and LGD continued to make their presence felt on this stretch.
But on August 15 this year, GZB WAP- 7 made its mark for the first time.

And now, its the turn for BIA to venture in this unknown territory!! Powered by a brand new 30438 BIA WAP- 7, the puny 14 coaches long 12768 Santragachi (SRC)- Hazur Sahib Nanded (NED) Weekly Superfast accelerates furious past Abada (ABB) station on SER's Howrah- Kharagpur stretch after shifting from up main to the reversible track at the previous station.
The train follows the Santragachi- Kharagpur- Tatanagar- Rourkela- Bilaspur- Raipur- Durg- Gondia- Nagpur- Adilabad- Hazur Sahib Nanded route. Even though the regular link is SRC WAP- 4, yet it gets various kinds of links.

Yes. On first day itself when it got WAP-7, It departed CST one hour late and arrived nagpur 5 mins early!
For Gitanjali, Tata/HWH WAP-7 would be best.

Re# 1681363-8              
Tata might not get a Passenger Locomotive in the future. Twice they failed to handle WAP-4. And HWH does not have enough WAP-7 to cater both ER and SER trains. So deserving locomotive for GEETANJALI should be AJNI WAP-7 now. And KYN WAP-7 in the future (After WAP-7 is alloted to KYN).

NGP me loco avl ke uper hai ye raha hoga aaram karte isliye isko bhagaya hoga SRC halaki isko permanent kar sakte hain iske liye WAM4 bhi sahi hai but WAP-7 gradient me performance accha deta hai isliye ye accha hai SER ke territory me.

may be KYN get WAP-7 but SER have more than sufficient WAP-4 if all important Trains will cater by WAP-7 then what WAP-4 SRC will do they will become Unemployed.
