Captured my very first glimpse of Bhilai (BIA) WAP-7 (Navbharti) #30202 hauling the 12925 Paschim Express at Adarsh Nagar in New Delhi. This locomotive has been recently transferred to Bhilai (BIA) ELS from it's previous shed Gomoh (GMO).

WAP 7 is a high speed locomotive indigenously developed by Chittaranjan Locomotive Works. It is capable of hauling trains at speeds ranging between 140 and 160 km per hour and is now largely used by Northern Railways (NR), South Central Railways (SCR), South Western Railway (SWR) Southern Railways (SR), Eastern Railways (ER), South East Central Railway (SECR), and East Central Railways (ECR).

The WAP-7 is actually a modified version of the WAG 9 freight locomotive with modified gear ratios and is set to replace the fleet of WAP 4's, the most widely used passenger locomotive today. The process will be a very slow one however, with WAP-4s still being produced and the production of WAP-7's increasing at a slow pace.

The current locomotive sheds which house this locomotive are:
Gomoh (GMO)
Ghaziabad (GZB)
Lallaguda (LGD)
Ajni (AJNI)
Howrah (HWH)
Bhilai (Code:BIA)
Royapuram (RPM)
