SAL SDP35 1107         
Seaboard Air Line SDP35 1107 at Hialeah, Florida on March 20, 1965, Kodachroe by Kenneth M. Ardinger, Chuck Zeiler collection. Built as number 1107 in September 1964 (c/n 29346) on EMD Order 7734, powered by the 567D3A 16-cylinder turbocharged diesel, it appears it was later numbered to SCL 608, then SCL 1958, then L&N 7040, then L&N/SBD/CSXT 4545. A total of 35 SDP35's were built between July 1964 and September 1965, almost all (see Comment below, thanks Jonathan) equipped with a steam generator at the rear, resulting in a squared off hood end and the rear steps became vertical, more like a ladder than stairs. The SAL owned 20 of these, originally numbered 1100-1119.

Jonathan Vincent General If I'm not mistaken, the L&N SDP35's never actually had the steam generators installed, but still had the squared rear hood. Not sure why they were ordered as such, maybe a discounted price? BTW, nice pic of an attractive paint scheme. 1/14/2013 4:26:13 PM
