    I am modelling SP and DRGW between their merger in 1988 and 1997.

    Were there any tunnel motors SD40T-2 or SD45T-2 that still had their specific L-windows left after 1988?

    As Intermountain offers 12 roadnumbers in SP scheme, where can I find the list of roadnumbers still equipped with L windows after 1988?

    Thank you for your help.

    According to the my copy of the 1995 SP Motive Power Annual (Bill Shippen, Four Ways West) here are the locomotives that still had L windows in 1995:

    4809, 4832 (GP38-2's)
    7231 (GP40X)
    8234, 8266, 8280, 8368, 8525 (SD40T-2's)

    Hope this helps

    Dave,

    Thanks for the info.

    I think 8234 in your list should be 8233.
