| Kato SD40-2 5027 "Snoot". Fresh out of the paint shop. Custom painted and decaled with all the normal rooftop additions. After a spree of buying SD45's and SD45-2's from 1967 to 1974, Santa Fe returned to the 16 cylinder 3000 h.p. SD40-2 in 1977, purchasing 187 units thru 1981. Along with the twenty SD40's bought in 1966, this class represented the largest type of locomotive on the Santa Fe roster. Each cylinder on the diesel was 645 cubic inches |
In
1976, GE C30-7 was introduced as the successor to the U36C locomotive
and contained several internal and external design changes resulting in 16
cylinders and 3000 h.p. Early C30's featured a blanked nose headlight
receptacle, with the headlight relocated above the window area.
The last order of 14 units of the 157 ordered between 1977 and 1982 had white
number boards and a smooth nose. 8077 is mildly weathered with all the
appropriate roof add-ons.

Unit
5656 was built in May 1972 and delivered in the Yellow Stripe paint
scheme. All 90 purchased were eventually repainted into the Yellow
Warbonnet scheme, and equipped with air conditioning, high mounted air horns,
window shades, and radio antennae. 5656 was mildly weathered, with rust
showing around the air filter. You can faintly see where the yellow
paint in that air filter has just about weathered away.
The Auto Rack cars were highlighted in "1981 Auto Rack" video.
