Indian Railways boasts two significant electric locomotive classes: WAP-4 and WAP-5. The WAP-4, introduced in the late 1980s, is known for its robustness, hauling both passenger and freight trains efficiently. It’s a powerful workhorse but lacks the speed and modern featuresof newer models.
Enter the WAP-5, a 1990s marvel, designed for higher speeds and greater efficiency. Equipped with advancedelectronics, better acceleration, and regenerative braking, the WAP-5 ensures a smoother, faster ride. While the WAP-4 is celebrated for its reliability, the WAP-5 represents the leap towards modernity in Indian Railways’ evolving journey.
