I dont know about power.. IMO, the P4 can whack the P5 on that front because of the sheer weight.. Nice photo Shanx..

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.

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..

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

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!
