Southern Pacific SD9 question
Posted by stefanuccio on Friday, November 4, 2011 7:56 AM

Hi all

I would like to know when was that the SP SD7s renumbered after 1965 into 3800 series were again renumbered into the 4300 serial numbers ?

thanks very much for your reply

The renumbering of the SD9's into the 4300 series was because of a capital rebuild program at Sacramento Shops beginning in 1970.  The renumbering was not in sequence and each SD9 got a new number when it came out of the shop.

The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul
