This loco was built in 2/1973 with EMD construction number 72625-8. 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 a dual sealed beam light only.
She was rebuilt as SP 6852 on 08/25/1988 as part of the SP's GRIP program.
