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.

The SD40 had 3,000 hp from a turbocharged V16. 856 examples of this locomotive model were built for American railroads, 330 were built for Canadian railroads, and 72 were built for Mexican railroads.
