TATA Steel Express - Second Sitting sasta bhi, sabse achha bhi - Ravi Raj

Good point. The railways need to smartly plan which locomotives to use. In some areas, trains with a lot of stops are given powerful electric locomotives like WAP-7/WAP-5, while in other areas like CR and SWR, superfast trains are using WAG-9/WAG-7 locomotives. What's the point of electrification if the trains can't get the right electric locomotives that match their speed and schedule? Even in the UBL-SBC section, trains like 12725/26 and 20653/54 recently got electric locomotives after the new WAP-7 locomotives were allocated to KJM shed, even though electrification was completed months ago. While the UBL shed has plenty of WAG-9s, it lacks electric locomotives for passenger trains. Indian Railways needs to produce more WAP-7 and WAP-5 locomotives instead of WAG-9 and allocate them to these areas that desperately need them. And if not, it's better to see a wdp4 locomotive working smoothly rather than seeing a "green Goblin" struggling to keep up with the train's schedule.
