How many railroads had SDP-45s?
Well, technically the Erie Lackawanna SDP45 units were not REALLY full SDP45s, i.e. they did NOT have steam generators back there in the long hood. The E-L ordered them in order to get bigger fuel tanks, as the SDP version had a longer underframe than the standard SD45, which was all they wanted. Thus, in order to get a larger fuel tank, EMD made them a "special" SDP45 without all the passenger stuff.
Anyway, just from memory, the railroads that purchased REAL EMD SDP45 units were SP and GN. Can't remember any others.

MMW could only get sufficient reservations to do the SP version. And I think I have a significant percentage of those reserved.
