On July 26th, Athearn sent out the following e-mail: "SD45T-2 Most of you have heard that we showed a new locomotive at the National Train Show . . . . the SD45T-2. This was a big hit, with a LOT of favorable response. Here's our plan. We will make a formal announcement of the SD45T-2 at the ihobby Expo in Chicago, October 14-17. At that time we will have price, road names, item numbers, and hopefully decorated units. Delivery is anticipated to be late 2004 or early 2005 for the first group of road names, with subsequent groups arriving soon after that. We don't have further details at this time, so please save your questions until closer to delivery time. The SD45T-2 sports such great paint schemes as Southern Pacific, Cotton Belt, Cotton Belt Bicentennial, SP Kodachrome, and KCS. That's it for today. The Folks at Athearn Trains Based on the roads they mentioned, I think that it is safe to presume that they plan on producing the loco with those names.
