Grievance Description : To Railway Board, Subject:- WAP-7 locomotive for upcoming GKP ELS From the pg reply I got for my previous MORLY/E/2016/04185, it is clear that JHS wont be allotted WAP-7 locomotives any sooner for trains like Pushpak Express, Sant Kabir Dham Express, Kushinagar Express, etc. Lucknow-Gorakhpur section of North-Eastern Railway will soon be electrified. Now, NER till date was a complete diesel hauled zone with no Electric Loco Shed under it. In such conditions, After the electrification of GKP-LJN section, Railway Board is requested to specially provide 3phase locomotive training to NER/GKP helping them to shed WAG-9 firstly and soon they should be able to shed WAP-7. Sant Kabir Dham, Kushinagar Express etc use WAP-7 of CR, when CR themselves have only 15 WAP-7 locomotives only. Many other CR trains need WAP-7 like 24 coach Pushpak, Vidarbha, Sevagram, etc
Current Status : CASE CLOSED
Date of Action : 08 Jul 2016
Details : Since, production of conventional tap changer locomotives has been stopped, sufficient no. of three phase locomotives will be provided to Gorakhpur electric loco shed in NER and training of staff will be planned as and when required.

The replacements of MAS Rajdhani, Duronto, SC Duronto, YPR Duronto etc is because of links getting shifted from GZB to LGD. Now, LGD does not home WAP5 locos, right?
Even Shatabdis have grown longer in length. 12013/14 ASR Shatabdi has 18 coaches. BPL Shatabdi has 18. Lucknow Shatabdi has 20. ALD Duronto had 18 (of late running with 20 coaches), Jammu Rajdhani/Duronto also have 20 coaches and get both P5 and P7, ASR Swarna Shatabdi has 20 and so on.....
The Mumbai Rajdhani incident is kinda controversial. But it should be noted that

whenever its WAP7 fails midway (P7's are notorious for that :P), generally, a WAP5 rescues the Rajdhani. Like he pointed out - GZB has the oldest fleet of WAP5 locos and are more likely to face reliability issues. Most of their WAP7 locos are fairly newer.
WAP5 locos are being used only in some selected routes with better P-way quality.
Anyways, I'm getting bored of these discussions :-
1. WAP5 vs WAP7
2. WAP4 vs WAP7
3. ALCO vs EMD
