WAP 5 is the name of a class of High Speed electric locomotivesproduced and used

by Indian Railways. The first 10 locomotives were imported from ABB in Switzerland in 1995.
They are supposed to be a variant of the Swiss Lok 2000 (Design Concept) and German DB
Class 120 (mechanical chassis).

WAP-5 can deliver 6,000 hp (4,500 kW) at peak and has regenerative braking as one
of its notable features. Other notable features of this loco are the provision of taps from
the main loco transformer for hotel load, pantry loads, flexible gear coupling,
wheel-mounted disc brakes, and a potential for speed enhancement to 200 km/h (120 mph).
Braking systems include 160 kN (36,000 lbf) regenerative brakes, loco disc brakes,
automatic train air brakes, and a charged spring parking brake.

On 3rd July 2014, a WAP-5 set an Indian speed record by hauling a train from Delhi
to Agra at within 90 minutes at a speed of 160 km/h (99 mph).[1]

The Gatimaan Express and Bhopal Shatabdi trains hauled by WAP-5 locomotives travel
at 160 km/h (99 mph) and 150 km/h (93 mph) respectively in the New Delhi - Agra
Cantt section.
