The Indian locomotive class WAG-7 is a class of 25 kV AC electric goods locomotives developed in 1990 by Chittaranjan Locomotive Works for Indian Railways. The name reads broad gauge (W), alternating current (A), goods traffic (G), seventh generation (7). The locomotives entered service in 1992 and were built by the Chittaranjan works from 1990 to 2015 and by Bharat Heavy Electricals from 2009 to 2023, making them the most numerous mainline electric class until the WAG-9 succeeded them. The article describes the WAG-7 as one of the most successful Indian Railways locomotives, serving freight trains since 1990, and says that despite the arrival of three-phase WAG-9 and WAG-12 locomotives most WAG-7 units remain in service, including as back engine on the Bhor Ghat and Thal Ghat.
