WAP-4 loco of Erode shed; Erode owns highest no. of WAP 4 locomotives


WAP - 4 is the mainstay passenger electric locomotive used in India.


The locomotive was developed after a previous class WAP-1 was found inadequate to haul the longer, heavier express trains (24-26 coaches) that were becoming the mainstay of the Indian Railways network. It was introduced in 1994, with a similar bodyshell to the WAP-1 class, but with Hitachi traction motors.
