The steepest gradients are between Akathumuri (a small halt station after Kadakavur) and Varkala. A WDM3A will typically slow down to around 50 km/hr with a 22 coach load even at full throttle. I wonder what speed a WAP1 will go at in this section.

How many P-1's have been transferred to AJJ? I saw 22027 last night on the MAS Passenger.

Not many between ERS and QLN. I dont remember the exact figures. After QLN there is one of 1 in 70 or so at Kadakkavur. The WAP 1's can easily handle the 23 coach load in this sector
