Sub: Haulage capacity of WAG7 Locomotive with 16:65 Gear Ratio in Run through
conditions on different gradients with CC+6 (5062 t) and CC+10 (5294 t) loading of 58
BOXN.
The haulage of 4700 t load with WAG7 locomotive with 16:65 gear ratio on different
gradients have been issued by RDSO vide EL/3.1.39/1 dt 01-06-98 (Technical Circular No. 22).
Railway Board have permitted the loading of Box N wagon with CC+6 vide letter no. 2004/CE-
II/TS/2 dt 4-5-2005 and CC+10 vide letter no. 2003/CE-II/TS/5 Vol. I dt 4-5-2005. 58 Box N
train with CC+6 (5062 t) and CC+10 (5294 t) cannot be started by single WAG7 locomotive on
1:200 up-gradients, 1:150 up-gradients or 1:100 up-gradients. However, such stretches can be
negotiated in run through condition. WAG7 locomotive can negotiate 1:200 up gradient with
5062 t (CC+6) Box’N’ load in run through condition with speed more than 20 kmph. For other
gradients and loads the lengths of stretches which can be negotiated at various attacking speed,
have been arrived at by computer simulation and are given as under –
Table-1
Negotiable Length on 1:150 Compensated up gradient in Run Through Conditions
For Load – 5062 t (CC+6)
Table-2
Negotiable Length on 1:100 Compensated up gradient in Run Through Conditions
For Load – 5062 t (CC+6)
Table-3
Negotiable Length on 1:200 Compensated up gradient in Run Through Conditions
For Load – 5294 t (CC+10)
Table-5
Negotiable Length on 1:100 Compensated up gradient in Run Through Conditions
For Load – 5294 t (CC+10)
2. Railways are requested to conduct field trials on the above guidelines in different
sections. Based on such trials. you may issue guidelines to Drivers to enable them negotiate such
stretches successfully without causing stalling and overloading of electrical equipments. RDSO
may be kept apprised of the developments.
