Nostalgia & History > SP Special on the CoastlineDate: 03/22/26 09:56 SP Special on the Coastline Author: Fiftyfooter SDP-45's 3201 and 3207 hustle an SP business train at Seacliff in 1980. The business cars and the SDs sure looked good speeding up the Coast!

Date: 03/22/26 23:35 Re: SP Special on the Coastline Author: badman The baggage car behind the SDP45s was a HEP generator car. The business-observation cars had onboard generators, while the support lounge/crew cars needed the HEP car. SDP45s still had their steam generators (3201 and 3207 kept them until retirement in 1989), but the conversion to HEP made them redundant other than for their passenger gearing.
