Alan Hudson masterfully did the repainting on this beautiful locomotive and Matt Doti developed the freight animation with specific prototype details.

We hope you enjoy this Santa Fe Bicentennial SD45.  
To celebrate the nation’s Bicentennial in 1976, the Santa Fe painted five SD45-2’s into this striking paint scheme.  
The fleet were numbered 5700-5704.  
These locomotives were most often found leading the fast freight Super-C.  
Starting in 1977, the five Bicentennial locomotives were repainted into the standard freight blue and yellow paint scheme.  
The last locomotive, #5704, was repainted in 1978, thus ending the short lived Bicentennial paint period on the Santa Fe.
