The model name stands for Broad gauge (W), AC Current (A), Mixed traffic (M) engine, 3rd generation (3). They entered service in 1988. They are the faster variant of the previous WAP-1 class. All locomotives are now out of service or converted to WAP-1Table of ContentsHistory[edit]Locomotive sheds[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]History[edit]The history of WAP-3 begins in the early 1980 with the WAP-1 class. The WAP-1 was the first attempt to create a dedicated High-speed electric passenger locomotive.[1] They were first used on the Howrah Rajdhani Express.[2] But Indian railways were not satisfied with the performance of the WAP-1 as they could haul around 19 coaches at a max speed of 120\u00a0km\/h. So Indian Railways decided to procure a faster version of the WAP-1.[3]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4The WAP-3 was ordered from CLW to the design of RDSO. The Flexicoil cast steel bogies of the WAP-1 was replaced by Flexicoil Mark II versions. This increased max speed to 140\u00a0km\/h. Five prototype locomotives of this type were made from existing WAP-1 units. The first prototype WAP-1 numbered ‘22005 jawahar’  was put into service in 1988. Initially these locomotives were classified as WAP-1 FM II[4] with FM II standing for ” Flexicoil Mark II ” and were certified to run at 130\u00a0km\/h between Jhansi and lalitpur section.[5] Later Flexicoil Mark 4 bogies were provided for Subsequent WAP-3 which increased max speed to 160\u00a0km\/h.They were first used on the Taj Express and then various shatabdi express.[6][7] The Bhopal shatabdi used to run with WAP-3 for some time.[8] But as trains got longer the WAP-3 struggled to perform and required banking locomotives on moderately graded sections, and so did not meet their design goals these were reverted to WAP-1 class again.The WAP-3 and WAP-1 provided the basis for the WAP-4 class.Locomotive sheds[edit]The current list of  former WAP-3 classLoco NoCurrent ShedStatusCurrent classCommentREF22003Arakkonam(AJJ)Training LocoWAP-1converted to training loco with glass panels in bodyside[9]22005Arakkonam(AJJ)In serviceWAP-1Loco name-Jawahar,[10]22006Tughlakabad(TKD)In serviceWAP-1Loco name-Rajhans,[11]22007Arakkonam(AJJ)In serviceWAP-1[12]22008Arakkonam(AJJ)In serviceWAP-1[13]22009Arakkonam(AJJ)In serviceWAP-1[14]22034Tughlakabad(TKD)In serviceWAP-1[15]22051Tughlakabad(TKD)In serviceWAP-1Now a WAP-4[16]22052Tughlakabad(TKD)In serviceWAP-1[17][18]See also[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki19\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki19\/indian-locomotive-class-wap-3-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Indian locomotive class WAP-3 – Wikipedia"}}]}]
