The EMD SDP45 is a six-axle, C-C, 3,600 horsepower diesel-electric locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division of La Grange, Illinois. It was a passenger-hauling version of the SD45 on a stretched frame with an extended, squared-off long hood behind the radiators, giving space for a steam generator, following the pattern set by the SDP35 and SDP40. Southern Pacific ordered ten on 9 May 1966 and placed them in service in 1967 on the City of San Francisco. They later ran for Amtrak on the Coast Starlight and from 1973 on the San Francisco Peninsula commute.
