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.

Yes. ofcourse. you only know everything about it n others stay in fool paradise isnt it?
anyways, you continue with your never ending WAIT of HWH WAP-5, for which I have already got a reply recently from ER.
Soon, a reply for/frm SCR/CR too is expected, will show that too.
From ER's reply too, its evident, that 130 mps is given by both

WAP-5 n WAP-7, n they are preffering WAP-7 currently, finding no need to shed wap5 until in future, enhancement of speed is done in HWH NDLS section. so, it clear for 110 mps trains n also 130 mps Rajs, wap-4 and wap-7 are there. If speed upgradations are done, then only wap-5 migh come in picture.
Grievance Description : Subject:- WAP-5 locomotive for ER zone. There is extreme crowd in allotment of WAP-7 locomotives. as a result of which only few wap-7 could be allotted to HWH ELS of ER. In such a case, WAP-5 locomotive can be tried to be shed in HWH ELS by transferring HWH WAP-4 to Asansol or to shed WAP-5 in Asansol ELS itself. WAP-5 is an high speed locomotive. ER/ECR section of dankuni-dhanbad-mgs is 130 kmph fit and soon upgradation is expected. Even the Asansol-PNBE-MGS section is soon getting upgraded from 110 kmph mps to 130 kmph mps. Hence, for such high speed zone, and huge no of trains, few WAP-7 wont be enough. In such case, WAP-5 locomotive should be shed in one of ER ELS Asansol or HWH.
Current Status : CASE CLOSED
Date of Action : 28 Mar 2016
Details : Allotment of locomotives to shed is done by Railway Board on requirement basis.Electric loco shed , Howrah has 19 nos. WAP-7 locomotives which haul mail/express trains including prestigious trains like Rajdhani Duroto . During the current year 2015-16, Railway Board has already allotted 04 nos. more WAP-7 locomotives to Electric Loco Shed, Howrah which will be used to haul more new trains and diesel to electric traction converted trains.it may be noted that both the locomotives viz. WAP-7 WAP-5 are hauling trains maximum up to a speed of 130KMPH between Howrah and New Delhi. If in future any enhancement of speed of train is done, suitable loco will be provided by Railway Board to required loco sheds.
