EMD SD45-2 on the Utah Railway
A Utah Railway coal empty from Provo Yard marches east up the Mapleton Bench near Spanish Fork, Utah on April 14, 1996. Leading the charge is former Santa Fe SD45-2 No. 5855, a locomotive that for eight years was powered by a 4200 horsepower Caterpillar Model 3612 engine. By 1996, Morrison Knudsen pulled the Cat engine and replaced it with a standard EMD 20 cylinder, 3200 horsepower prime mover, about two months before this portrait was captured on Kodachrome.
