SDP45 #3659

3600 hp on 6 wheel trucks. The SDP45 were originally designed for passenger working with a longer frame but the EL obtained them for their larger fuel tanks which allowed runs from New York to Chicago on freight trains without refueling.

3659 double-headed with another SDP45 on an westbound freight through Hornell, NY on Sunday evening,  September 23rd, 1973 . The photo was taken while returning from a NMRA NFR Regional convention in Ithaca, NY.
