SP SD9 4451         
Southern Pacific upgraded SD9's 4450 and 4451 were at the engine house at New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal, having come in on a special train. The railroad bought 150 of these units between 1954 and 1956, and 76 of them had boilers for passenger service. Between 1970 and 1980 144 of these were upgraded and renumbered, but only the 4450 and 4451 retained their boilers.

Rob Sarberenyi General Actually, Southern Pacific obtained 150 of EMD's SD9. Unfortunately that erroneous 149 number gets tossed around a lot. See my EMD SD9 roster here and count up the numbers based on builder numbers http://www.trainweb.org/jaydeet/sd9.htm 2/11/2016 1:02:00 PM
