PALINDROME ABB HWH WAP 7 with Himgiri Express curves ahed at Sultanpur
[ER] ABB HWH WAP 7 30203 First time ever with Himgiri Superfast express bounding towards Howrah curving out from Sultanpur Approximately ontime.
This was my first ever capture of a HWH WAP 7 though witnessed it with many legendry trains but havent capture any HWH WAP 7.
This...

In the trial runs [7/02] the upgraded WAP-7 #30203 was shown able to take a 24-coach train to 110km/h in just 235 to 245 seconds (compare: 324 seconds for a WAP-5). Braking systems as in the WAP-5, with regenerative braking rated at 183kN in the first units and 260kN in the later ones.
HWH WAP-7 is being used to haul the 24-coach rakes of SF/Exp at Max. tested speed is 160km/h, rated for 140km/h.
