This locomotive and the SD45T-2 are popularly called tunnel motors, but EMD’s term is SD40-2s with “cooling system modifications” because they were designed for better engine cooling in tunnels. The difference between this locomotive and its non-tunnel motor cousin, the SD40-2, are the radiator intakes and radiator fan grills located at the rear of the locomotive. The radiator air intakes in this model were along the deck to allow more fresh, cooler air to enter and less hot exhaust fumes lingering around the tunnel’s ceiling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fun play on “what-if” could leave the imagination to visualize what would happen if SP never adopted the Grey and Red “Bloody nose” scheme. We are offering that thought as a reality with this release. Referred to as “Black Widow” from railfans, this is our representation of what could have been if the scheme was still used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLEGENDARY LIVERIES\u003cbr\u003eWhat are Legendary Liveries?
