Zones cannot take Wap 7s and LHB rakes. They are allotted to them by RB. Only we here get bugged up with no WAP 7s and no LHBs. Wap 7 or nothing else, LHB rake or nothing else we say. Its is completely irrelevant IMO. The cry over trains not getting WAP 7s is in my opinion the most kiddish , unproductive and pointless discussions on IRI. I may not be such a great railfan but I am least bothered ( and so are the railways) if my pet train/s gets a WAP 1 or WAM4 or WAP7.
