Title:  Side view of a great looking engine
Description:  I always have liked the Soos bold, bright paint scheme in comparison to so many drab, dark schemes of the day, and it looked particularly good on a GP30. The 700 is now part of the collection of the Lake Superior Transportaion Museum and has been fully restored.
