Spsf plan

I know that the spsf seemed plausable enough at the time that a later laughed- at repairing campaign occurred. Recently though I saw a pic of a normal blue/yellow with red spsf style number boards and what appears to be a patch over it number though the number on the patch is in blue font. Did SP and ATSF do a renumbering campaign as well?

If I remember correctly, the SD45T-2s that SP was rebuilding at the time were changed from starting at SP 9500 to 6767 (if I remember correctly). I think only one or two were released prior to the renumbering. Other than that, I do not know of any SP locomotives renumbered.

The first SD45-2 rebuilds on Santa Fe were renumbered in the 7200 series in anticipation of the proposed merger.  They were quickly renumbered to the 5800 series when the merger application was denied.
