Interesting shot Shanx. You seem to be really enjoying TC compression.

Laksh, despite being an ardent P4 fan, I wouldn't even debate on the "brawn" aspect. With 4 TMs and axles, 2 less than the P4, the P5 still packs more punch when it comes to matters of HP delivered. Still, one of the best photographs and captions I've seen in a long time!

Good stuff. I guess WAP-5's lower centre of gravity also helps in stability at higher speeds.

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..

Those two electrical connectors are for hotel load.Mu tapping is unchanged . Nice catch Sid ! So WAP-7 is not dead :)

Good Catch.

Now, does this variation in the heights of the CBCs have anything to do in the frequent uncoupling of CBC rakes as has happened recently with AP, Charminar & Godavari expresses.

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.
