Actually,this is an SD-7,and I believe it is the former EMD demonstrator,wich is why they wanted it.

Not only is it the Demonstrator it is SD #1 ever built that is why UP saved it at Cheyenne and then sent it here which probably is the best place for it in the entire country with being in EMD's backyard and IRM's excellent track record. The hardest question is how would you restore it? EMD Demo, SP Black Widow, or SP Red and Gray? Actually I would like the Red & Gray
