Loco alone, WDP4 will win here in India.
WDP4 has been tested for over 450 Kms and sometimes touched 179 Kmph way back in 2002.
.
There is WAP5 which is capable of 200, but has it been tested here in India?
Or...
more... atleast has WAP5 being tested for 180 here? At high speed of WAP5 - say 180 , can the overhead wire withstand that speed and oscillations caused by the pantograph?
That special Raj too, had MUed WAP5s with one panto down because of overhead wire oscillations issue. And that was just 130.
Now it is run with the front and rear WAP5 for the special Raj and it does 160.
But I dont think 180/200 testing has been done here in IR.
