[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Sterling1</i> <br /><br />On railpics again! Noted a SD45R, what does the R stand for and what are common rebuilding or original marks on locos? <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />"R" generally designates a rebuild, usually internal (prime mover etc...) Some railroads who rebuild their own locomotives choose different suffixes than others so I guess there really is no "standard". <br /> <br />Common marks- <br />R- rebuild <br />M- rebuild or modified (sometimes designates that prime mover has been de-rated) <br />E- electrical <br />
