}}The '''EMD SD40R''' is a rebuild from [[EMD SD40]] [[Diesel locomotive|diesel locomotives]] that were originally built in 1966 and 1968, when they were first built, the first 79 were built between January and May 1966, and the last ten were April and June 1968.<ref name=":5">{{Cite book |last=Limas |first=Peter |url=https://openlibrary.org/books/OL8531569M/Southern_Pacific_Rails_A_Motive_Power_Finale |title=Southern Pacific Rails, A Motive Power Finale |publisher=[[White River Productions]] |year=1998 |isbn=9780965904049}}</ref> |
|||
== History == |
|||
Beginning in 1980, Southern Pacific had rebuilt all their surviving SD40's through a rebuild program at their own Sacramento Shops.<ref name=":1" /> |
|||
The following external changes from a standard SD40 had included:<ref name=":1" /> |
|||
* Rear 5-light show cluster fitted. |
|||
* Contactor access door on the front of the dynamic brake blister. |
|||
* Electrical cabinet fitted behind left rear of cab. |
|||
* Equipment box added to the end of the traction blower duct (on the left side). |
|||
* Permanent MU cables fitted. |
|||
* Electrical cab heater replaced 'hot water cab heater'. |
|||
Ten units (#7319, #7327, #7337, #7347, #7349, #7351, #7364, #7368 and #7374) had their engineer's windows shaped in an 'L' shape.<ref name=":1" /> |
|||
Although all were delivered with inside low-mount brake cylinders, no effort was made to move these to the outside upper position when rebuilt. Units could still be seen in 1996 with brake cylinders in the as delivered configuration.<ref name=":5" /><ref name=":1" /> |
|||
== SP's variants == |
|||
=== SPSF "Kodachrome" livery === |
|||
Southern Pacific painted units which were #7303, #7310, #7319, #7357, #7361 and #7384 into the Southern Pacific's "Kodachrome" livery of the proposed and failed merger between [[Southern Pacific Transportation Company|Southern Pacific]] and [[Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway|Santa Fe]].<ref name=":5" /> |
|||
=== SP's "Daylight" livery === |
|||
[[File:SP 7342 in Oakland, CA in December 1980 (31185863985).jpg|left|thumb|180x180px|SP #7342 in the SP's "Daylight" livery]] |
|||
In 1980, one unit #7342 was painted into the Southern Pacific's "Daylight" livery, predominantly sported the Daylight Orange colours, the front of the nose, and the rear of the long hood were Red, more likely to be SP Scarlet than Daylight Red. A Standard red wing with 'feathers' appeared on the right-hand side of the nose, but the left-hand side had a solid red wing.<ref name=":5" /><ref name=":1">{{Harvp|Garmany|1984|p=391}}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Cite book |title=Railfan & Railroad Magazine - May 1981 |year=1981 |pages=2}}</ref><ref name=":3">{{Cite book |title=Rail Classics November 1982 |year=1982 |pages=38, 39}}</ref> |
|||
The lettering and cab side number on the left-hand side was shown as red, but on the right-hand side, the lettering was shown as white, on both sides the lettering was stacked, the word "Pacific" under the word "Southern", rather than all in one line.<ref name=":5" /><ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" /><ref name=":3" /> |
|||
A white Gothic SP lettering was applied to the front of the hood. The truck side-frames, [[fuel tank]], pilots, snowplow and side sill appear to be painted a very dark grey, as well as the top of the long hood, cab roof and the side of the long hood down to a point parallel with the bottom of the dynamic brake blister. The step wells were also painted in Daylight Orange, and the vertical part of the stepwell handrails were white to the first stanchion.<ref name=":5" /><ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" /><ref name=":3" /> |
|||
=== Olympic livery === |
|||
As an Official Sponsor for the [[1984 Summer Olympics|1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games]], the [[Southern Pacific Transportation Company|Southern Pacific]] had repainted SD40R #7347 into an Olympic paint scheme.<ref name=":5" /><ref name=":4">{{Cite book |title=Railfan & Railroad - September 1984 |year=1984 |pages=2}}</ref> #7347 was later repainted back into the SP's "Bloody Nose" paint scheme in July 1985, before being destroyed in a head-on collision August 1985.<ref name=":5" /><ref name=":4" /> |
|||
<nowiki>#</nowiki>7347 was rebuilt from SD40 #8479, this was from the second order of SD40's delivered in 1968. The second order came with the L-shaped engineer’s window and handbrake on a stand mounted against the rear hood on the rear porch.<ref name=":5" /><ref name=":4" /> |
