FWWR 2024 |
| Description: |
The newest member of the Fort Worth Western fleet is this former Southern Pacific SD45/Alstom SD40M-2. Delivered to Southern Pacific in May 1967 as SD45 8913 and after a long career moving freight entered SP's Sacramento shop and emerged as SP 7467 SD45R on February 23, 1983. After retirement this diesel was rebuilt by Alstom as an SD40M-2 but retained the SD45 flared radiator and entered the CIT Finance lease pool as CEFX 3120. This locomotive will be named and repainted in FWWR blue and yellow as time and weather permits. This will be a very good looking SD40M-2 in an SD45 carbody. Congrats, FWWR! |

SP 8579 |
| Description: |
A rebuilt SD40M-2 celebrating a year of service with Southern Pacific idles in SP's Broadway Yard in South Fort Worth. This locomotive was originally delivered to Chicago & Northwestern as SD45 968 in February 1968 and served CNW until retirement which was rebuilt by Morrison-Knudsen into an SD40M-2 and released on July 1994. During the rebuild this locomotive lost the distinctive flared radiators of the SD45 and had cab airconditioning installed per SP specifications. After the UP merger this locomotive served the new owner until being placed into storage around 2010 and can be seen parked in Sterling, IL in full SP paint. |

SP 8633 |
| Description: |
Espee 8633, a rebuilt SD40M-2 idles in SP's Broadway Yard while getting a rinse during a summer downpour. This locomotive was originally delivered to Chesapeake & Ohio as SD40 7452 in August 1966 and after serving Chessie System then CSX was retired and sold to Morrison Knudsen and entered the lease pool as MKCX 8403. M-K then pulled this locomotive from the pool and rebuilt the locomotive for Southern Pacific as SD40M-2 8633 which served both SP then UP until the latter stored the locomotive until lease expiration. A fine looking locomotive indeed. |

SP 8652 |
| Description: |
Looking like just another SD45 on Southern Pacific's large stable of 20 cylinder behemoths, this locomotive isn't what it seems. Delivered to Pennsylvania in January 1968 as SD45 6230, this was one of the last diesels delivered to PRR before Penn Central. After the merger this diesel became PC 6230 then Conrail 6230 in 1976. After retirement from Conrail this diesel went to work for Chicago & Northwestern as 6553 and received CNW yellow and green until being retired again. This locomotive was picked up by Morrison Knudsen, rebuilt and sent to Southern Pacific as SD40M-2 8652. After the UP merger 8652 became UP 2728 in full UP colors but was not in active service for long and soon afterward placed into long term storage. After being released by UP, this diesel spent several more years in storage and was then picked up by Missouri and Northern Arkansas and currently works as 2728 still in UP yellow. |

Morrison Knudsen rebuilt the locomotive for SP as SD40M-2 8657 in full Espee paint with speed lettering but retaining the distinctive flared radiators of the SD45 and older Flexicoil trucks as delivered to PRR/PC. |

| Description: |
Delivered to Erie Lackawanna as SD45M (or SDP45 sans passenger equipment) 3666 in August 1970, this diesel became Conrail 6697 in 1976 then spent several years in storage after being returned to its lessor in January 1984. VMV purchased this unit for lease service as VMVX 6697 until purchased again by Morrison-Knudsen rebuilding it as SP 8693 SD40M-2 in January 1995 still sporting the long hood extension but a 16 cylinder 645. After the Union Pacific merger this unit was initially assigned UP 4719 but never received this number and was instead patched UP 2769 on December 15, 2003. On October 12, 2010 this unit was retired and has spent the last several years languishing in storage at Webb City, MO. In this photo SP 8693 is leading a freight out of UP Centennial Yard (now Davidson) five months before merger day. |
