GMD Recollections - The Day I Got a Bloody Nose

On June 05, 1994, SP 9801 was on the GMD test track in east London.
3rd post of the day.

Well, not literally my nose, but it was the day I made my one and only photo of an SD70M wearing the famous SP bloody nose paint scheme.  I had seen and photographed lots of the SP/SSW GP60 units on test and under delivery, but this was a relatively small order, and for me there was no second opportunity.  The unit was posed at the far east end of the GMD test track near Industrial Road in London.  The CP mainline is visible in the foreground.
