FXE SDP40 in Topeka - a photo on Flickriver

            On Saturday, the FXE 3227, an SDP40 came up to Topeka from Herington.  By Sunday morning, the other two units it came up with got pulled for use on the MTPAS-20, leaving the SDP by itself in Topeka.  As of Monday afternoon, it was still there, now joined by these lovely KCS units.  Now that I've seen this end of it in the sunlight, I was able to take note of that nicely silver-painted (?) horn! What a cool detail.

There were only 20 of these units built, with 14 of them going to the Nacionales de Mexico.  After NdeM was privatized in 1998, six of these units were transferred to FerroMex, where four of them were eventually rebuilt to SDP40-2 standards, such as this unit.
