Starting in the 1977, the [[Southern Pacific Transportation Company]] and the [[St. Louis Southwestern Railway]] (also known as the "Cotton Belt Route") had began rebuilding the majority of their [[EMD SD45T-2]] locomotives into what had became the EMD SD45T-2R.<ref name="SD40T-2" /><ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" /> Both railroads had rebuilt a total of 126 of their [[EMD SD45T-2]] locomotives into EMD SD45T-2R locomotives, which left a total of 121 [[EMD SD45T-2]] un-rebuilt and they were all renumbered as 6793-6832, 6834-6868 and 6869-6892.<ref name="SD40T-2" /><ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" /> |
