WAP5 at 150KMPH with Bhopal Shatabdhi and Mumbai Rajadhani(it depends on the no of coaches it caarries) is fastest and WAP7 at 130 to 160KMPH but with 26 coaches its speed is 110KMPh and 21 high capacity Ac coaches.
But I have one more question:
How fast WDP 3a actually is? Expecting for a quick reply.

If we compare WDP 4, WAP 7, and WAG 7, then:
Is WAP 7 is faster than WDP 4 or WDP 4 is faster than WAP 7? I want to know how fast they are. Is WAG 7 faster than WAP 7 or slower than that? Tell me the facts and figures about them.

WAP7 has greater horse power but max speed of 140kmph and usually runs trains @120-130
WAP5 has lesser horse power but greater max speed of 160kmph.
WAP5 are usually given to short trains and trains that don't have to climb up gradients. It is for this reason that Howrah/Sealdah Rajdhanis (crossing Chotanagpur hills) and both Kalka Shatabdis (going uphill from Chandigarh to Kalka) are usually given WAP7. Although some days you may find these trains with a WAP5, yet WAP7 gives better performance on these routes.
