Comments on: CN SW900 7908 (leased by GMD London as a plant switcher at the time) switches around two new VIA F40PH-2′s under construction at the north end of GMD’s London plant at Oxford Street, both in an unpainted state still undergoing assembly. At the time, VIA’s third order of F40′s (6430-6458) was being built, and painted on the cab sides is the unit’s sequence number in the order: “17″ (for VIA 6446) and “19″ (VIA 6448). The new units would help displace some of VIA’s older aging secondhand power, notably the ex-CN FPA4/FPB4 units and FP9/F9B’s (the upcoming VIA cuts in a few months probably didn’t help either).
