Rohit while i accept the wap4 has more brawn= "weight" ,it has no "brains" like the wap5 nor the advancements which the wap5 has,and least the comfort which a p5 offers at times only brawn does not matter..

The colour of the stripe seems to be lot brighter than what we have seen earlie. Probably due to the lack of dirt and muck!! ;-)

Hmm, they must have made some mod with the mu'ing of this loco, it's got electrical couplers similar to the P5's that were absent in the previous loco's of this class.
