The Indian locomotive class WAP-4 is a class of 25 kV AC electric passenger locomotives developed in 1993 by Chittaranjan Locomotive Works for Indian Railways. The name reads broad gauge (W), alternating current (A), passenger traffic (P), fourth generation (4). The locomotives entered service in late 1994 and 778 were built at the Chittaranjan works between 1993 and 2015, making them the most numerous mainline electric passenger class until the WAP-7 appeared in 2000. The article describes the WAP-4 as one of the most successful locomotives of Indian Railways, with more than 29 years of passenger service, and says its design became the basis for the WAP-6. Production stopped in December 2015 with unit 25051, and a significant number are still in use on the mainline.
