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?

Only two sheds hold WAP-5's.
its a light weight locomotive with advanced technology.
it needs a proper training to handle this locomotive.
the training period afaik, is around 30-60 days. both, for crew and the shed crew too.
Now
...
more...
a days, less failure reports are updated. To become like perfect WAP-4's, it will take much time ahead.
