MRL SDP45 332         
I know full well it looks like an SD45-2, but it was built as an SDP45 for the EL, and was wrecked. When it returned, it had a 45-2 hood on it. EL only purchased the SDP45 model for the 5000 gallon fuel tanks, and never had passenger equipment in them.

Jim Bruce General 332 is an SDP45-2 Rebuild ex EL one of 2 Units. EL 3657 and 3667 were involved in a severe wreck on November 11, 1973. But the units were taken into the EL's Hornell shops and rebuilt in 1974 from parts supplied by EMD. The 3667 received a new SD45-2 hood but remained an SDP45 underneath, including the fuel tank. The 3657 received an entirely new carbody and a dash-2 electrical cabinet. EL 3657 survived on Conrail as CR 6688 and EL 3667 survived as CR 6698. 12/7/2008 2:14:28 PM
