wcam 2p is better with speed with max. speed 120km/h in AC mode whereas 110 km/hr (AC) in wcam 3.
CR uses WCAM-3 locos on Mumbai-Pune and Mumbai-Igatpuri sections which have ghat portions as well as speed restrictions of about 100km/h.
wcam 2p are used by WR for fast trains, running at up to 120km/h on the Virar-Godhra AC section (Mumbai-Virar is DC but has reduced speeds because of the suburban traffic).

I have seen and travelled by many trains i have seen that most of the trains were hauled by wcam3 after igatpuri for eg jabalpur garibrath,allahabad duranto etc. This jabalpur garibrath was running with max 105 speed towards bhusawal.
i wonder that how this trains will cover up the distance since wcam3 can go upto max 110 on ac.
