Rebuilt from SD40 to SD40R 12/80 and released in its first Daylight incarnation, variously known as 'Orangebird' or 'Yellowbird'. This loco went thru at least two variations of Daylight paint.
As there are quite a few References on this loco, I have written a special page for it. Please go to the SD40R 7342 Info page for further details.

EMD SD44R #7399 ex 8837
Rebuilt from SD45 8837 and released in Nov 1981, as the prototype for rebuilding all the SD45's, it was deemed to expensive, and it remained a unique unit. A different approach was taken for the SD45 rebuild program. see the SP SD44R Info page for further details on this unique loco.

SP #1 ex 4401
© Gregg Fuhriman Nov. 1983. in Roseville. Caboose SP #1 - Commonly thought to be a Transfer Caboose, this was in fact the Prototype for a series of Road Cabooses. SP's only? example of Class C-50-10, it was built from damaged C-50-3 #4401 in 1980, and painted to match 'Yellow Bird' SD40 7342 as in the above Ron Lehmer photo. The design was based on the Missouri Pacific's 13700 class, known as a 'Short Body' bay window caboose. Frame length remained the same, but the body was shortened and it has no roof overhang. It was used to try out various paint schemes, this being one side, it was different on the other side. See the C-50-10 info page.
