GP40-2 Locomotive -- Southern Pacific #7617
By the end of the 1970’s, SP was in need of high-speed motive power for their hot shot trains. They placed their first order of 20 GP40-2s (SP 7608-7627) from EMD with order number 776071 in 1978. Being rather late to the table for this model, SP seemed to be impressed and ended up ordering 4 more batches including some for their subsidiary, Cotton Belt. SP-specific features include: 4-hole jacking pads, Nathan P3 horns, large “L” front window, and full SP light packages on both ends.
