Re: (erielack) EL C425 2451 - where'd it go?

There may be more than 6 of the SDP45's, with 3 alone on UP, one leaser and
one on WC off the top of my head, BUT few if any of them operate in their
original configuration.    (if you count Roanoke's unit there's 6 existing
for sure, although that one does not operate).
