I sometimes wonder that 12641/42 (which is such a nice SF train ) doesn't run with WAP-4,7 but with WAM or WAP-1...
How IR never came with a thought to provide some upper class WAP for this train?

The latest ones are technology based ones. even a trained LP will have some time to control these beasts and their failure rate is bit higher than the older ones.
and secondly, talking on link, its been observed, long distance ones generally get WAM-4's, or even WAG's too, as they great amount of slack and the stops, they aren't so big deal for any locos.
WAP-5 coming right towards the end of CAPE will take more time or even more than 5 years. the entire crew needs to b trained to perfection.

one failure, another 2 phase has to come n haul it.
