Frisco 900s - Classic SD45s

SLSF SD45 933 leads a WB pig thru Foyil, Oklahoma just one month before the BN merger in October of 1980.

Frisco's 49 SD45s gave the mostly four motor roster big muscle, but load limits on bridges meant you would not see three of them coupled together in a power consist. The sun has just risen over the rolling Ozark foothills of eastern Oklahoma, as a hot westbound rolls towards Tulsa. At least one SD45 got the "coonskin" herald on the nose, but unfortunately the Frisco never adopted nose heralds as a standard.
