This loco was built in 12/1954 with EMD construction number 20097. She was built as a dual engined E9 A-unit. She was painted in SP's standard for the time Daylight orange and red.

At some point in the late 1950's or possibly early 1960's she was repainted into the newly adopted grey and red "bloody nose" scheme for all locomotives regardless of passenger or freight assignment.

She was retired on 03/23/1970 and sold to GE for scrap on 04/13/1970.
