where are the MU cables?

Posted by Deepak Murali on 2009 Apr 23 15:32:47 +0000

Should it have MU cables on both the sides. The very point of having the cables is to avoid reversal at any point right, so probably it is put on one face. Please see this pic of the AJJ WAM4. It seems to lack MU cables.

Correct me if I am wrong.

Without MU cables the WAP1 looks still better. Great to see my most favourite elctric loco looking as grand as the WAP1's of the 80's and 90's. Ramki, thanks for capturing it.

Yes.The MU cables are installed at the other end of the loco.

How interestingly the same livery which looked great with the AJJ WAM's looks pretty tacky like a passenger train finish on the WAPs

I totally agree with Arzie bhai. The livery is stunning, just like the WAP 1's that hauled MYS Shatabdi.

Its a WAP1(220..)

Wonderful!! I think it's much better looking loco than with the MU cables on! They take away the look of a WAP 1 or 4

NICE NICE i travelled in this train on the same day! Had a nice peek of the loco from my coach D-3
