Tony Johnson photo - Bakersfield, CA - September 17, 1988

 

This loco was built in x/1972 with EMD construction number 7336-12. She was built as a freight engine. She was painted in standard for the time bloody nose colors and featured a full 5 light headlight arrangement on the front end. The rear featured xxxx.

She was rebuilt and renumbered to SP 6773 as part of the SP's GRIP program on 08/xx/1986.

She was rebuilt by MK-Boise in 4/1996 and began a new life as KCS 4501, now considered an SD45T-3. KCS's ex SP 4500 series units were renumbered to the KCS 7200's at some point. This unit thus was KCS 7201 later in life.
