The EMD FP45 is a C-C cowl unit diesel locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division beginning in 1967 at the request of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, which did not want its prestigious Super Chief and El Capitan passenger trains hauled by freight style hood units. EMD covered the SDP45 with a lightweight cowl body that gave sleeker looks and better aerodynamics and let crews enter the engine compartment en route. The Santa Fe ordered nine, numbered 100 to 108 in the red and yellow warbonnet scheme, and the Milwaukee Road ordered four a year later. Santa Fe 90 is preserved in Oklahoma City.
