This loco was christened 'JAWAHAR', and initially classified WAP1 FM II later WAP3. She hauled the Bhopal Shatabdi on its inaugural run circa 1983, and was standard haulage for that train for a while. The loco now seems a shadow of her formal glory. This was one of the first WAPs retrofitted with large windshields.

That is why you have 10 or 15 km/hr speed limit over these points. I wish they would do a better job and raise the speed limit.

i'm meeting an old friend after 11 years here!! way back in the summer of 1996, i was at NGP desperately searching for a WAP1 to design my model(for The Hitvada). Then i spotted this great brute (assigned to JHS shed then) silently waiting on one of the sidings...i snapped a lot of frames and successfully designed my model which stands proudly in my room to this day! Thanx for the photo shanx!

The evening light is very appealing. However do think of going a bit wider shanx.

How could i not write a comment on this??? wap4's look the best with their waist level lamps and without that dirty bulge box and also with the narrow windscreen(dont mind the wap5 types).... Thats d perfect look for the p4

I love the top headlight WAP 4's and the recessed ones gives them a very cool look, but the extracted headlamps give these locos a look as if they are 'pregnent'....not that i dont like them any less ;-)

Fantastic snap. WAP-1 looks so mighty here!

For me, these projected headlamp WAP1/4 look like elephants, and if it is Rajdhani livery, they even look more massive elephants.
