Brand new shining 30311 WAP-7, aka "Electric Baldie" displays a deadly blast at MPS of 110 kmph

Shining and blazing milky- white brand new 30311 WAP-7 of HWH shed tears through the small station of Madhusudanpur on HB Chord enroute at sheer speed of MPS 110 km/hr with the bang on time running 12340 Dhanbad (DHN)- Howrah (HWH) COALFIELD Superfast Express in...
more... its tow. A unique property of 30311 and 30312 (of LGD shed) is that the roof of these locos are also white in colour, unlike the other WAP-7, which have a grey roof-top. It is for this reason that we railfans fondly call 30311 as the "Electric Baldie"!!! This loco was planned to be alloted to AJNI shed, but was actuallly transferred to HWH, making it the sixth WAP-7 for HWH shed after 30295, 30300, 30305, 30308 and 30203 (transferred from GMO).
The train uses the Dhanbad- Asansol- Durgapur- Burdwan- Howrah route of ECR, ER.
