If Seeing is believing, then this video has the story to say... Thanks Pramit to you & your friend for this superb video...

Some people do not want to believe that a diesel haul train in India can make it to 130+ Km/Hr... Specifically a Shatabdi to a Non-Metropolitan City... Technically every thing is feasible but mentally their is a blockage... EMD can easily go 160+ Km/Hr with an LHB coach... Is their any thing so tough in it... As RDSO has already given the speed certificate for this train... No...
more... wonder if we see EMD regularly @ 150+ Km/Hr... The bottom-line is that all major important routes are electrified & we see only electric locomotive in high speed action...
.
With Electrification in progress in Howrah - New Jalpaiguri Main line, we are left with EMD's superb action with this train for 1-2 years only...
