GMO WAP-7 heading A.C. Double Decker Express does good speed through Balarambati
.

India's first A.C. Double Decker Express, aka ER's white elephant 12385 Howrah (HWH)- Dhanbad (DHN) A.C. D.D. Express headed by off-link 30203 GMO shed WAP-7 thunders through Balarambati station on HB Chord enroute. It was a child's play for the 6350 hp iron monster to haul the puny 9 coach

LHB rake at the alloted MPS..
An interesting feature regarding this loco is that it was first alloted to GMO, and was subsequently transferred to HWH.. But HWH again returned it back to GMO.. Recently at most probable, the loco is once again returned to HWH.. Talks are also going on to transfer all the GMO WAP-7 to HWH..
The train uses the conventional Howrah- Burdwan- Asansol- Dhanbad route, and is generally headed by HWH WAP-7 as the link. But HWH WAP-4 are also occasionally seen.

It is child's play indeed. WAP7 can haul 15-16 DD coaches quite easily.

I agree with you... LHB coaches are lighter than ICF rakes.. And a WAP-7 can single handily operate at 110 km/hr with 26 ICF coaches.. Afterall, its a 6350 hp monster!!
