Part of the original Santa Fe 1994 order, these SD75M’s are depicted as late in their life. Just before they were sold to PRLX, they soldered on looking beaten and battered, but still earning revenue for their owner. Renumbered to the 8200 class in the 2000’s, they eventually returned back to their original Santa Fe numbers again, but with BNSF patches.
