The SBD order for the SD50s pictured here also included an order for SD50s for D&RGW. They D&RGW units were similarly equipped with the long hood side bells like the SBD units, too. D&RGW wanted more SD40T-2s, but EMD removed them from the catalog, so the 'Grande ordered SD50s instead, and tacked them onto the SBD order. The friendly wave from the crewman is a nice touch.

Nice photo. SBD's paint job was so short lived. (as was the name itself)
