These are the total listed for the EMD shipments. They were not AC's like today, they only had AC generators and the AC was rectified back to DC traction motors if I remember correctly.

If someone knows anything about them, let us know .

The UP SD40-2 displays the "Desert Victory " camo scheme. UP did this to reflect employees serving in the 1991 Gulf war, a plaque was afixed with the employee names, paint shop personal were sent to Ft. Riley KS. to learn the camo technique . I do believe Athearn released a version some years ago.

No info on the second unit.....sorry.
