In November of 1981, Southern Pacific released a one-of-a-kind rebuilt SD45, number 7399. This âSD44Râ was fitted with a 16-cylinder prime mover and was painted in an attractive adaptation of the roadâs famous âDaylightâ scheme. While no other SD44Rs were completed, the unit lasted several years with its special paint. We think that the two SDP45s which kept their steam generators into the 1980s would look great in this scheme as well, heading up an OCS or shipperâs special!
