And on the subject of identification, I believe the SD45-2 did not have flaired radiators. It had very long radiators but not flaired, with more space between cooling fans, and rode on HT-C trucks instead of the standard Flex coil truck of the SD45. One exception was the SD45X which had the HT-C trucks and flaired radiator but had 4 cooling fans. Most of what you see today on Class 1 railroads that look like SD45's have been modified to SD40-2 standards as stated eariler. MRL, IMRL and WC still have standard SD45's and to add to confusion, some of those have been modified to SD45-2 standards but keeping the flaired radiators and standard trucks! Having said that, you never know.
