Hey Guys:

ID a Prototype time!

Anyone able to identify the unit BEHIND Santa Fe's famous redone VO1000 "Beep"? I had thought it was an SD60B but I'm not longer of that opinion.

Can someone help?



Thanks Guys.

a repowered baldwin switcher using emd gp7 power plant and other bits and peices ken
The Santa Fe loco #1460 is a rare one. Santa Fe took a Baldwin switcher and rebuilt it and combined it with an EMD GP-7. They only built one and it was used as a shop switcher in Texas. It was retired a few years ago, and is now in Barstow.

Ahem!

I know! The question isn't about the BEEP! Arrrrrgggggghhhhhhhh

It's the unit BEHIND the BEEP!!!

It's only a GP7 "like" hood btw, the guys in the Sante fe shops made it. Anyway this isn't about the Beep!

No Ken:

I really don't think I could be more clear. Since the Beep is more to the foreground in that shot and because the cab end of the Beep is the aft end, that would mean the SD and I mention in my original question that I had thought it originally was an SD60B as a qualifier (6 wheel trucked road switcher) is behind the Beep.

So in the picture lets say the one to the right.

Hey Carl:

I think you're right. I remember Todd once I think gave me the same answer a few years back, I just couldn't remember what he said...

It is 1 of 8 SD45-2s that Santa Fe rebuilt as B-units. It does have dynamic brakes as seen by the brake equipment on the roof where the cab/nose should be.

The one behind the Beep dosn't have the extended "LERX" like 5502. It's more like 5511. vent/grill combo different on upper side rear.

#5502 is an SD45 B-unit. Hence it has the flared rad section. It also has the DB in the stock position.

#5511 is based on an SD45-2 and so does not have the flared rad section.

So in the original picture with the Beep the "B" unit is an SD45-2B?
