The Indian locomotive class WAP-1 is a class of 25 kV AC electric passenger locomotives developed in 1980 by Chittaranjan Locomotive Works for Indian Railways. The class name reads broad gauge (W), alternating current (A), passenger traffic (P), first generation (1). The locomotives entered service in late 1981 and 65 were built at the Chittaranjan works between 1980 and 1996, which made them the most numerous mainline electric passenger class until the WAP-4 followed. The article calls it the first dedicated AC electric passenger locomotive of Indian Railways and the first dedicated passenger locomotive built in India since independence in 1947, and says its basic design underlies the WAP-3 and WAP-4. With the arrival of three-phase locomotives such as the WAP-5 and WAP-7 the class was moved to smaller express and passenger trains and is now being withdrawn and scrapped.
