Ummmmm … Chad … that patched “SDP40” you have in your set at Colton is actually an SDP45-1 when it was bult. SP 3200-3209. They replaced the PA’s and the FP7’s in passenger service about 1968 or so. When Amtrack took over, the SP kept them, later transferring all but two to the Penninsula Commute Service. The remaining two were used as Executive units for Shipper Specials for a while, then rebuilt for freight service.
It is probably a SDP45, and a sister to SP 8694 a couple of pictures below, that MK rebuilt to SD40-2 standards around 1994.http://espee.railfan.net/spsd40m-2.html

Calcium Carbide, used for making acetylene.
An unpatched Southern Pacific, it has been a long time since I have seen one of those.
