The Indian locomotive class WAP-3 was a class of 25 kV AC electric passenger locomotives designed by the Research Design and Standards Organisation and Chittaranjan Locomotive Works for Indian Railways in 1987. The class name reads broad gauge (W), alternating current (A), passenger traffic (P), third generation (3). They entered service in 1988 as a faster variant of the WAP-1, but the article says only nine were made, all converted from existing WAP-1 units at Chittaranjan between 1987 and 1988, and they were later reverted to WAP-1 specifications. The article traces the class to the early 1980s WAP-1, the first attempt at a dedicated high-speed electric passenger locomotive, which Indian Railways found unsatisfactory when it hauled about 19 coaches at 120 km/h.
