Description: Athearn SD40T-2 /Speed Letter Southern Pacific # 8294 Part # 73054 HO Scale, MIB Overview SP "SPEED LETTERING" FEATURES:88” nose with brake wheelCab mounted A/CRelocated P3 hornFront ditch lightsRemoved front and rear SP light packageModified front L windowExtended range dynamic brakesIn an attempt to revise their image, SP began to use a new “Speed Lettering” scheme adapted in 1991. Also, during this time, they started to remove parts of their well-known light packages. If a light component failed, it would have to be fixed, thus taking the locomotive out of service. To reduce maintenance costs, SP started to actively remove these extra lights leaving empty brackets and plates where they were once installed. Other changes included the addition of front ditch lights and the horn being relocated to the rear hood.

This locomotive and the SD45T-2 are popularly called tunnel motors, but EMD’s term is SD40-2s with “cooling system modifications” because they were designed for better engine cooling in tunnels. The difference between this locomotive and its non-tunnel motor cousin, the SD40-2, are the radiator intakes and radiator fan grills located at the rear of the locomotive. The radiator air intakes in this model were along the deck to allow more fresh, cooler air to enter and less hot exhaust fumes lingering around the tunnel’s ceiling.
