SBD Fort Myers local at Brewster FL on 10/05/1986 with 3 U18B's. 2 in ex SCL paint and a SBD painted unit. #rd U18B acting like a ALCO.

Very nice!  The leader on FB-2 trucks and the other two on EMD trucks.  Did SCL trade-in some early Geeps on these?  I just remember that the U18s put the remaining RS3s out to pasture, or more accurately, into the deadline at Uceta.

IIRC SCL traded in FT's and F2/F3's on the GE's that got EMD trucks. That said, Auto Train's U36B's also had EMD trucks but I don't know that trade-ins were involved.
