Contributors Southern Pacific Railroad Company
Image Captions The GP9 class was built between January 1954 and August 1963, although production in the U.S. ended in December 1959. A total of 4,115 A-units and 165 cabless B-units were built. The first GP9s on the Southern Pacific system were delivered in 1954 to the Texas & New Orleans. Although it now wears the SP’s most recent “Bloody Nose” scheme, it was originally painted in the orange, silver and black “black widow” paint scheme. The 3769 was built in 1957 as number 5733. As part of a system-wide program, SP renumbered all of the GP9s into the 3400-3727 series, with the 5733 becoming 3574. In 1970 it was rebuilt as a GP9E, and was renumbered again as 3769. It was retired on May 28, 1986, and donated on July 23, 1987. This locomotive was prepared as a display item by removing the traction motors and engines, and sealing all doors, rendering it an empty shell.
