SP 9180

This loco was built in 2/1972 with EMD construction number 7336-15. 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 6769 as part of the SP's GRIP program on 06/23/1986. She emerged from rebuilding painted in kodachrome paint of the intended SPSF railroad.

By 1992 she had been repainted back into the standard SP bloody nose scheme.

She was rebuilt by MK-Boise in 4/1996 and began a new life as KCS 4500, 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 7200 later in life.
