ATSF/SPSF renumber/repaint roster

		ATSF-to-SPSF renumber and repaint roster
		a color-coded compilation of data from periodicals, web rosters, and photographs

The following roster has been compiled from a number of sources, but primarily from the work done on websites by Jim Czarnecki and Evan Werkema, as cited in the references below. The intent of this roster is to provide a working list of the sketchy ATSF-SPSF-ATSF renumber and repaint information to effectively add it to my own ATSF All-Time Diesel Roster.

not renumbered or repainted

Rationale:

if a unit was repainted from ATSF to SPSF, it is listed here
if a unit was assigned a different road number, i.e., renumbered, it is listed here
if a unit retained its pre-"merger" ATSF road number and was not repainted, it is not listed here

Parameters:

ATSF-to-SPSF repainting began 31Jul85 and ended 24Jul86
SPSF-to-ATSF repainting for SDF45, SD39, GP40X, GP39-2, GP38-2, GP20, and slug units was accomplished by 1Oct90
SPSF-to-ATSF repainting for remaining "on roster" units was accomplished by 1Jan91
some units left the roster in SPSF paint

Mr. Werkema has pointed out that an "official SPSF roster" never existed. What you see here is an assembly of many individual pieces of information. No doubt you have noticed the broad date-ranges for repainting and renumbering. Probably the best way to help refine those ranges is by the examination of dated photographs. Should you have such photographic information and be willing to submit it, both Mr. Werkema and I would be pleased to receive it. You may contact us at:
