Looking for an ultra-detailed six-axle unit lettered down to the road number? ScaleTrains' EMD SD45T-2 in their premium Rivet Counter line, in National Railway Equipment/Red Lettering paint, is exactly that kind of centerpiece.
The SD45T-2 is Southern Pacific's 20-cylinder "tunnel motor": 3,600 hp and lowered radiator air intakes so it would not re-ingest its own exhaust in the tunnels and snowsheds of the Sierra Nevada. After the Union Pacific merger, several were sold to leasing companies such as CIT Group, which leased them out under CEFX reporting marks.
