Southern Pacific SD9 No. 5399 sits in the morning sun at Lebanon, Oregon, on September 26, 2016. The 1955 EMD product was originally numbered No. 5399, which was later rebuilt by SP into SD9E No. 4364. It was bought by locomotive dealer George Lavacot in 1992, who eventually restored and repainted it into SP’s black widow paint scheme, with added silver trucks, and renumbered the classy locomotive once again into its original road number. The snazzy SD9 is currently leased to the Albany & Eastern Railroad.
Not
just heritage schemes, not just commemorative schemes - this album is devoted to some of the world's most interesting paint schemes, past or present.
