Jan 20, 2019 · ICG 7000 was the very first SD45 built by EMD in December 1965 as EMDX 4351, one of four total SD45 Demonstrators. All four demo units were built with the L-shaped windows which made it and the other three easily identifiable.

The Illinois Central had a diesel roster dominated by products from EMD. Although very much a four axle railroad, the IC did purchase a limited number of six axle SD’s from EMD. Among these was a single SD45. Numbered the 7000, it held a unique and special place on the roster.

The IC + GM&O merger saw several F3A / F7A locos conveyed to the new ICG and assigned a 1600 series number, but only 1610, 1615 and 1620 had them applied. They were also the only F-units to receive the full orange & white treatment.
