     Could be ex WP GP/40-2 3555.

Nice photo.  I hadn't seen any  N  designations in the GP class yet. That's good as it means these are being upgraded and will be around a while longer.

Interesting.   Didn't know or think the GP40's were ready or approved for upgrading.   The high roadnumber suggests a lesser role in service, or even retirement.   We'll see...

There are GP38N's as well.

This unit has been numbered 9989 for at least 10+ years so i think its safe to say its not going anywhere soon if they just rebuilt it (including nose job)...
