SP 9226

This loco was built in x/1972 with EMD serial number 72601-18. 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 scheduled to become SP or SSW 6893, but the program seems to have been cancelled. She continued on unrebuilt at least until 1995 based on published photos.
She was one of quite a few of SP's SD45T-2 units known to have been repainted into SP's "Speed Lettering" scheme at a point after the SP was bought by Rio Grande Industries in October 1988.
