These units were rebuilt with a variety of “core” units; 6 of which were former EL SD45Ms. WAMX 4214 was formerly SP 8693 and came to Webb in the late 2010s. The unit currently calls Texas home and is one of the few, if not only, SDP45 type car bodies still running as of 2024.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eATHEARN EMD SDP45 DIESEL LOCOMOTIVE PROTOTYPE AND BACKGROUND INFO:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the 1960s, railroads were looking to replace aging EMD E-units and Alco PAs for passenger service. EMD responded by adding a steam generator compartment to the long hood end of their SD45. This required a longer frame and resulted in the creation of the SDP45. Three railroads originally purchased SDP45s: Southern Pacific, Great Northern, and Erie Lackawanna. Over the decades, the SDP45s were then acquired by other railroads through mergers, leasing companies, and rebuild programs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLEGENDARY LIVERIES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat are Legendary Liveries?
