The SD70MAC not-so-affectionately known as the "vomit-bonnet" is the first of two DPU units on the back of this coal empty.

I have heard of this derogatory appellation before but until now I don't recall seeing a pic of a loco wearing it. I wonder why this name was chosen as a similar design, I am think I recall correctly, was used on an Eastern road loco and was likened to a cigar band.
