In the late 80s and early 90s, Morrison-Knudson rebuilt 50 SD40s, SD45s, and SD40Xs into SD40M-2s and leased them out across the country. UP and BN saw extensive use of these newly refurbed motors in their early years. Most would go to HLCX after a few years, and most of them would be exported or scrapped. Few remain today.
Here, we find MKCX 9046 in the middle of a BN grain headed eastbound near Beatrice, WA one summer morning in 1995. Loosely based on a real photo.
For a 15 minute build, I don't think it's too bad of a first time attempt at this part of Washington.
Cheers,
SM
