| AT&SF SD45-2u 5824, Corwith Yard, Chicago, Illinois, May 31, 1987, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Built in May 1972 as AT&SF SD45-2 5632 (c/n 7391-8), it was rebuilt in July 1986 at San Bernardino as SD45-2u 5824. It appears to have been assigned number 7224 in anticipation of the SPSF merger, which was denied during the time this locomotive was in for rebuilding. It was repainted back to standard AT&SF blue sometime before January 1991 and became BNSF 6474 on February 1, 2000. |
