Reached delhi today (27-02-2012) via this train and it was hauled by WAP-4 from end to end and arrived 1 hr late at the ndls stn. i believe if it had been hauled by WAP-5/7 the loco would have tried covering the time since wap-5/7 are more powerful than the WAP-4's. Does it make sense?
And also the train reached MGS late by good 35-40 mins thus it had all the time in the world to cover that lost time.

true, but when it comes to trains like rajdhani's, durontos and shatabdi esp on super fast routes(ndls-hwh, ndls-mum, ndls-bpl) wap 5 and 7 are obvious choices. And i also noticed it never touched the likes of 130's and 140's. I know wap 5 and 7 just touch these marks but they do ensure that they do touch such speeds but wap-4 today never looked like even close to it.
