WAP-5 is mentioned as the 'Mislink' by an official site
29-Jun-17 12924 Dir 42 CR NGP 30105 BRC WAP5 3-Phase IB, BRC, Apr 28 2017 Miscellaneous (NGP-INDB, load 22B) 32" loss on run between Kalmeswar-Metpanjra & 15" Narkher-Pandurna for wheel slipping with LSP glowing and speed reduced due to gradient 1:65 with 3 degree curve and rainy weather. As per JPO Banker to be provided Ex.TEO during rainy weather. No loco trouble. Being refuted. IB-28.04.17, TI/PA-26.06.17. Section major: NGP-AMF. (WAP4/BRC link, Mislink by WR) 0 As per LP, due to rain in section between KOHL-SNKB-MER (having gradients 1:150 and 1:160) with curvatures wheel slipping occurred and speed dropped gradually up to 18-20 kmph, hence took extra time. Due to wheel slipping, tractive effort reduced and bogiemeter reading comes down to 100-105 KN. As per JPO...

Seeing as to how the P7 too is facing similar issues in rainy conditions (and in those two cases posted above, on milder gradients and in one case only a 19 coach load), it is puzzling as to how CR concluded that it is a problem with the locos. At least these two incidents definitely do not show any smooth operations. Particularly, in the second incident, the loco was an IGBT loco, which is supposed to have even better wheel slip control.
Also SCR operates 24 coach trains on the SC-KZJ section (which has a lot of frequent gradients) with WAP4 locos and as far as I know, they have never issued any such restriction. And in fact,...
