SDF40-2 5267

SDF40-2's and FP45's are often mistaken for each other. This picture shows FP45 5991 coupled in front of SDF40-2 5267. Among other things, the FP45 has a noticeably smaller steam generator section. No SDF40-2's were ever painted in SPSF red and yellow, or for that matter in any Santa Fe color scheme other than blue and yellow warbonnet.



The 5267 with its stepwell notches. A small hood-unit size noseband had been applied, and the side stripes crudely touched up. The unit went to scrap this way as BNSF 6977.
