Description

Railroad Short Name: SP

SP Features:

  • Full front and rear SP light package
  • Modified L front cab window
  • P3 horn
  • GRIP battery box doors
  • Hi-low brake cylinders

After their GRIP rebuild in 1981, SP’s SD40R became just another workhorse within the fleet of SD45R’s, SD40T-2’s, and SD45T-2’s. Pulling freights all over the system, they seem to blend in with all the other power. These two road numbers we are offering lasted into the early 1990’s keeping their full light packages and post rebuild appearance while avoiding SP’s Speed Lettering repaints starting in 1991.
