The EMD SDP40F was a six-axle 3,000 hp C-C diesel–electric locomotive built by EMD from 1973 to 1974. Based on Santa Fe's EMD FP45, EMD built 150 for Amtrak. Amtrak had begun operation in 1971 with a fleet of aging diesel locomotives inherited from various private railroads. The SDP40F was the first diesel locomotive built new for Amtrak and for a brief time they formed the backbone of the company's long-distance fleet. For SPMR
