As most railroad historians and enthusiasts know, the Southern Pacific Transportation Company was taken over by Union Pacific in 1996, and almost all of the former SP red-and-scarlet locomotives have now been repainted for their new owner. But what if the SP had endured and survived through the tumultuous 1990s? What locomotive purchases would they have made? Due to numerous customer requests, we’re proud to offer our take on what a mid-2000s Southern Pacific order might have looked like. Enjoy running these units on your model railroad, recreating in miniature “what might have been!”
