Observations made at Howrah Yesterday:
1 12277 came with Offlink BRC WAP-4 at PF-23 of HWH(Previously we have already seen VSKP WAP-4s with 12278 but BRC has seen with it for the First Time on yesterday)
2 12278 got regular link SRC WAP-4
3 Most of the "Recently PoHd HWH WAP-4 seen with many Trains of SER like HWH Cape Exp, Kandari Exp etc
...
more...

4 WAP-4s of BRC,VSKP,ET,LGD etc frequently used with many trains in SER.(The SRC ELS too becomes a Den of Foreign WAP-4s(i.e WAP-4 of Other Zones in Rail Jargon it is called Foreign) Now as Observed Yesterday from PKU EMU)
5 The ICF Rake of Kandari Exp is in Very Poor and worn Out Condition, vulnerable to "Severe Disaster" at any point of Time.
Query: Why Trains like Bagh Exp, Hazarduari Exp, ACSF Specials of SER and many other trains of Indian Railway still hauled by WAG Loco? Are NOT they eligible to get WAPs ?
We all know what is the MPS of Trains in IR and if Mail/Exp get WAGs then the situation can be easily assumed.
Though yesterday spotted DN Hazarduari Exp at SEP with Freshly POHd HWH WAP-4(Offlink) after half an year.

(We have already LOTS of Images of 12277/12278 and other Trains here. So I didn't take the snaps of these Trains Yesterday at HWH)

True, that. The initial pick-up will be very good. But at the same time, its acceleration will degrade faster with increasing speed when compared to the passenger locos.
But yeah, freight locos can be all-rounders - they can haul freights as well as 24-coach passenger rakes.

I am fortunate to see some Videos of 12314 hauled by WAG-9 in You Tube. The WAG-9 was Looking Dangerous in those Videos.

Isn't WAG9 an overkill for SDAH Raj?

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
