Built as EMD Demonstrator 4351 December 1965 (c/n 31693) on order #5696, it was powered by a 20 cylinder 645E3 prime mover producing 3600 horsepower. Eventually it was sold to the IC, becoming #7000, the only SD-45 on IC's roster. It was scrapped June 1987. Note the extra large central air intake grill, added sometime after it was built.

Long before it looked very filthy and grungy as typical of ICG locomotives, the lone SD45 actually looked clean. Just repainted (and re-named, from IC) ICG #7000 in East Thomas Yard in Birmingham, AL - March 1975 (John Cloutier photo)

It was almost impossible to get an "uncooupled" shot of this engine. It did not have ATS and so couldn't lead in a lot of places on the ICG. I managed it once in the Waterloo engine terminal, but never on the road. Thanks for psoting. Nick Tharalson, Marion, IA Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 08/14/22 18:37 by ntharalson.

Illinois Central Gulf - SD45 #7000. The real unit was purchased by Illinois Central in 1971 from EMD while I have no photos reports in old Extra 2200 south magazine seem to suggest it ran around renumbered to #7000 in EMD paint for about 3 months. It was painted into Illinois Central orange & white in May-1971 at Paduach, KY shops.
