Re# 1503303-1              
I read in the Times of India today that the Dankuni Workshop of CLW will roll out a WAG-9H Loco by Jan, 2016 which will have regenerating brakes. Such brakes will save energy for the loco and improve the efficiency. The workshop may also roll out other locos like WAP-7s to replace the conventional WAP-4s within the next few years.... #TrackReforms :-)

Sir,
I have made many efforts to know the allotment of WAP-7 to SER like
1 I mailed personally to SER's GM regarding allotment of WAP-7 in SER for their important mail /exp trains no reply has come yet
2 Lodge complain to the Rail Board regarding this but it still under asst Secretary PG of SER no reply has come yet
SER
...
more...
has 74 WAP-4 fleet most of which are old, 44 TATA WAM-4 fleet most of which are old it now running it's train operation with these locos and WAP-4, WAM-4 WAG-5 & 7 of other Zones. Will this be the tradition of SER in future also or they may take WAP-7 for their trains.
(Mention must be made here that in the eloco site I have seen the Official order of allotment of WAP-7 in the TATA ELS of SER by scrapping all TATA WAM-4s in 2012)
Kindly inform. I am perplexed.

The old WAMs and P-4s will run under their respective ELS in SER or any other Zonal Rail Network until they live out their entire service life (May be 25-30 Years). Each of these electric locos cost around 1 Crore or more. Their (P-4s) manufacturing may stop by 2020 just like WAM-4s stopped in 1997 by CLW. These are extremely technical issues that IR doesn't let out so easily to common citizens like you or us may be due to security reasons etc. Try for an RTI nowadays since the new Central Govt of India has been in the process of appointing new CIC and CVC :-)
