The Indian locomotive class WAP-6 was a class of 25 kV AC electric passenger locomotives developed in the mid-1990s by Chittaranjan Locomotive Works for Indian Railways. The class name reads broad gauge (W), alternating current (A), passenger traffic (P), sixth generation (6). They entered service in April 1996 and 17 were built between 1995 and 1998. The article describes them as a higher-speed variant of the WAP-4 that failed to reach the intended speed in trials and was restricted to 105 km/h. All were based at Asansol, and after being converted to WAP-4 specifications they were reallocated to Howrah shed.
