Michael Palmieri photo - New Orleans, LA - July 11, 1973

 

This loco was built in 3/1973 with EMD construction number 72625-40. 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 not rebuilt as part of the SP's GRIP program.

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.
