Furious jet-engine type sound by a notching EMD GT46PAC locomotive with a 23 coach mammoth load

Just listen to the amazing jet-engine type sound from the 4000 hp EMD GT46PAC locomotive while it furiously notches up with the heavy 23 coach load of the 3 hours late running 12346 Guwahati (GHY)- Howrah (HWH) SARAIGHAT Superfast Express at a belated proceed signal at

Begumpur station on HB Chord enroute. Loco in the thick of action is a milky white SHF 20061 SGUJ (Siliguri) shed WDP- 4.
On the same day, the same loco returned with the newly introduced 12041 Howrah (HWH)- New Jalpaiguri (NJP) SHATABDI Express, being LHF at 120 km/hr after taking a rest for a mere 5 hours.
The train is the best train to travel between these two cities, even better than the 12517 Kolkata Chitpur Terminal (KOAA)- Guwahati (GHY) Bi-Weekly GARIB RATH Express. 12345 takes 17h 40m to cover 1001 km with 9 halts and average speed of 56 km/hr, whereas 12517 takes 18h 0m to cover 1005 km with 11 halts and average speed of 55 km/hr.
The Saraighat Express is a daily superfast train which runs between Howrah (Kolkata) and Guwahati (Assam). The train is named after the famous Battle of Saraight fought between Mughals and rulers of Assam (Ahom Kingdom) in which Mughals were defeated by the Ahoms under the great leadership of Mahavir Lachit Barphukan Commander-in-Chief.
