RIO GRANDE SD45 POWERED

Product Information

GM retook the horsepower lead in 1965 with the introduction of the SD45 locomotive. They equipped it with a new 20 cylinder engine designed after a Japanese marine engine, the largest power plant ever used in a locomotive. The SD45 was able to generate 3600 H.P., a 20% improvement over the SD40 model.
