from recent posts it has been noticed that "hwh wap4" of eastern railway has been used consistently with hwh cstm duronto for its high speed(max speed potential 130km/hr as sources claimed)......... as compared to src(santragachi wap4----- max speed 110 km/hr).
[depicted in picture 1 uploaded by me power of 12262 hwh cstm drnt standing at pf 22 of howrah]
i think if ser allows wap4 with a speed potential 130km/hr to ply in its railway territory then why not wap7!!!!!!!! a fully sophisticated loco with a max speed of 130-140 km/hr with

a superb pick up/accelaration capacity as per the situation.......................
[depicted in picture 2 uploaded by me the cabin and loco pilots of wap 7 which hauls tvc nzm rajdhani from kota to hazrat nizamuddin]
ser should use wap7(the white demon and the most successful loco presently in india for aristocrat trains like rajdhani and duronto) only for the following three non stop trains:
12262/12261 hwh cstm duronto
12222/12221 hwh pune duronto
12245/12246 hwh ypr duronto
please share views..........................

Hello Mr..... Look I would like to bring to your notice, your own leymanism , in this post. There are far more intelligent people on the board who select locos. Let me explain you the reason why the 'white demons' are not used in Howrah Cstm duronto express.
1) So called 'white denoms' are more known for their acceleration than there speeds.
2) The whole route of CSTM duronto is restricted to 110 except 134 km stretch of KGP-TATA (120). So we can cut out the speed reason here already.
3)

Duronto is a non-stop train (only few technical stops) so once accelerated to full speed it does not matter whether it is hauled by a WAP7 or a WAP4.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
