Presenting all my third audio blog EXCLUSIVELY for 3 Phase lovers(WAP7,in particular). I had taken the Double Decker Express from SBC to MAS hauled by Royapuram's 5th HOG white beast 30482, a marvellous loco(known to be glued with CBE Shatabdi). My coach was C1(second from the loco) and the rake was powered by HOG which meant a musical treat of twin tone 3 phase honking. 30426 had been freed from DD.
Date of capture-21/11/2017.
