yeah..it was tested with wap-7 but due to problem of CBC couplers with the GT rakes..it was creating too much jerks....due to extreme acceleration of wap-7... hence wap-4 was doing a better job...hence they ought to use wap-4 more....but sometimes once or twice a week they use wap-7....
Thanks for your explanation!
One follow-up question. BPL-NGP has two grades in either direction of about 1:60 and 1:70. Is the WAP-4 hauled rake halted before these grades so that bankers may be attached? Or does it run banker-less the way it did with WAP-7?

Bankers are attached in DHQ-MJY section for 12616, and TEO-CCD section for 12615
