Paul, to answer your earliar question: FP45: Santa Fe Milwuakee Road F45: Santa Fe Burlington Northern Great Northern SDP40F: Amtrak Santa Fe (rebuilt as SD40F-2) F40C: Milwuakee Road METRA The F40C was really a modified (and shortened) SDP40F body. The SDP40F had by far the largest steam generator of any EMD (nearly 5 feet longer than that of an FP45). The FP45 and F45s shared the same body, but the FP45 was 6 feet longer due to the steam generator. So really, I suppose a manufacturer could get away with selling FP45/F45 bodys (F45 shorter of course) and SDP40F/F40C bodys (once again, F40C shorter) and using the same tooling for all 4. Just a thought.
