Top 10 powerful locomotives of indian railways
WAG 12 was built at electric locomotive factory Madhepura , Bihar, India on 11 October , 2017 . It was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Madhepura , Bihar on 10 April 2018. With a power output of 12000 HP, they are twice as powerful as other locomotives. This locomotive is devloped for deployment on dedicated Freight Corridors , where it will be used to haul freight trains weighng more than 6000 tonnes at the speed of 100 km/h to 120 km/h. It is also known as two unit eletric locomotive. 1. WAG- 12
WAG C3 2. WAG- C3 The WAG C3 also known as WAG- 10 , is a class of 25 kv AC electric locomotive rebuilt by Chittranjan locomotive Works in 2018 . It can deliver 10000 hp (7.475 kw). The locomotive was rebuilt from a WDG-3A diesel locomotives. The name stands for broad gauge (W), alternating current (A), goods services (G) and converted (C). It is used to haul freight trains upto 55oo tonnes . The top speed of this locomotive is 120 km/h . It is also known as two unit Diesel Electric Locomotives.
3. WAG 9 The Indian locomotive class WAG-9 is a class of 25 kv AC electric locomotives that was devloped in 1995 AAB Group (ABB) for Indian Railways . The model name stands for broad gauge(W), AC current (A), Goods services in 1996 . A total of 2145 locomotives have been built at Chittranjan Locomotive works (CLW), with more units being built at Banaras Locomotive works (BLW) and Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL). It was most poweful freight locomotive of its fleet until the formal induction of the WAG- 12 . Its power is 6120 hp . It can haul freight train weighing more than 4500 tonnes . Its top speed is 120 km/h
4. WAP 7 WAP 7 is a class of 25 kv AC electric locomotives that was devloped in the 1999 by Chittaranjan locomotives works for Indian Railways . The model name stands for broad gauge (W) , AC Current(A) , Passenger traffic (P) engine, 7th generation (7) . They entered services in 2000. A total of 1237 WAP 7 have been built at Chittranjan Locomotive works , Banaras Locomotive works and Diesel loco Modernisation Works . Its maximum speed is 180 km/h . It is the most powerful passenger locomotive in Indian Railways fleet, capable of hauling 24 coach trains at speeds 110 to 140 km/h . It also hauls high speed trains like Rajdhani , Shatabdi and Duronto express
5. Wap 5 WAP 5 is the name of a class of high speed electric locomotives produced and used Indian Railways. It was buit in Chittaranjan locomotives works in 1995. On 3 July 2014 this locomotive set an Indian speed record by hauling Gatiman express from Delhi to Agra within 90 minutes at the speed of 160 km/h . It was also used for Spanish train Talgo . It can haul upto 20 to 24 coaches . Its power is 6000 hp . Indian Railways has also created improved aerodynamic model of WAP 5 whose maximum speed is 200km/h.
6. WDG 5 The EMD WDG 5 a class of heavy haul Diesel-electric locomotive built by Banaras Locomotive works , Varanasi in collaboration with Elecric-motive Diesel . Rated power output of 5500 hp (4100kw), it is the second most powerful diesl locomotive class in Indian Railways, out powered just by the 6000 horsepower WDG 6G . It was meant as a direct upgrade to the WDG 4 . The locomotive is named Bheem , after the strong Pandav brother from the epic of Mahabharat. This locomotive has fuel capacity of 7500 litres and traction motors A 2921-6 AC . It can haul freight trains more than 3000 tonnes . Its top speed is 120 km/h .
7 . WAG 7 The Indian locomotive class WAG-7 is a class of 25 kv AC electric locomotives that was developed in the 1990 by Chittranjan locomotive Works for Indian Railways. The model name stands for Broad gauge (W), alternating current (A), goods traffic (G) engine, 7th generation (7). They entered service in 1992. A total of 1970 WAG-7 were built at CLW and BHEL between 1990 to 2015, which made them the most numerous class of mainline electric locomotive till its successor the WAG-9. The WAG-7 is one of the most successful locomotives of Indian Railways currently serving both freight and passenger trains for over 28 years. Even though with advent of new 3-phase locomotives like WAG-9 and WAG-12, all WAG-7 locomotives except one destroyed in accidents, rest are in service and doing all types of duties..Its top speed is 120 km/h.
8 . WAP - 4 The Indian locomotive class WAP-4 is a class of 25 kV AC electric locomotives that was developed in 1993 by Chittaranjan Locomotive Works for Indian Railways. The model name stands for broad gauge (W), AC Current (A), Passenger traffic (P) engine, 4th generation (4). They entered service in late 1994. A total of 778 WAP-4 were built at CLW between 1993 and 2015, which made them the most numerous class of mainline electric passenger locomotive until the WAP-7. The locomotive was developed after its predecessor, the 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. Its can haul 25 coaches . Top speed is 180 km/h.
9 . WDM 4D It is the most powerful diesel locomotive . It also comes under EMD . It uses elctricicity power of 4500 hp . The model name WDM means Broad gauge (W) , Diesel (D) and mixed sevices (M) means capable for hauling Freight and Passenger Trains . It uses diesel to run generator inside the locomotives which genertes electricity inside the engine which gives force to the wheels and the locomotives moves . It can haul Freight train upto 2500 tonnes and passenger trains of 24 coaches . It is also used in hauling high speed trains like Rajdhani express , Shatabdi express , and many more .
10 . WDP 4 The WDP4 is a passenger-hauling diesel-electric locomotive with AC electric transmission designed by General Motors Electro-Motive Division and built by both GM-EMD and under license by Banaras Locomotive Works(BLW) of Varanasi, India . The Top speed of this locomotive is 180 km/h and it generates electricity of pwer 6000 hp . It was also used for the trial run of Spanish Train Talgo .
