Hey Dan Nice Shot my Friend! If u are wondering this is a SD39. Very rare engine only so many were manufactured. Keep up the great work!

Thanks. I'll try try to scan some more slides.

SP bought the SD39's with the idea of being the replacement engines for the aging SD9.That never happened.The first one I saw was the 5311 in the siding in Lancaster,Calif. when brand new.The engineer was Randall (golden arm)Lewis.He opened all the hoods for me and said "look,only 12 cylinders!. That was back in the day believe me.
