It's the passenger version of the SD45, the SDP45. That extra bit at the back houses a steam generator that was used for the passenger cars of the time.

Thank you for the reply and the info. I have heard of people talking about a SDP45 but I have never seen one but now I have. Thanks

Seeing this, is there any chance of a GN skin for the SDP45? I remember seeing SP, EL & GN painted units when Athearn displayed their SDP45's.

First Athearn and now JointedRail? *drools* I hope to see some EL SDP45's and SD45's coming from JR soon.

I'd buy that right now. That is EXACTLY what I would see daily in the 70s, on the Peninsula.

The Great Northern had SDP40's with steam generators, for use with the Empire Builder.

without a steam generator it wouldn't really be an SDP. you could try to note the EL units, but they are actually SD45Ms.

GN also had SDP45s.

There's an idea for a future release. A GN Empire Builder set to run on Maria's Pass.

Yea, they posted a couple of pics of an EL SDP45 quite some time back. I remember asking Justin (Cornell) what's up with that SD45 like somebody took a bite out of her nose.
