SP TEBU 1601
Title:  SP TEBU 1601
Description:  SP TEBU 1601 at Tucson, Arizona on November 21, 1985, photo by Chuck Zeiler. This TEBU (Tractive Effort Booster Unit) was built from retired SP U25B #6761, built as 7561 in March 1964 (c/n 34798) on GE Order 1405, SP Order P-1085. Power for the traction motors was supplied by a GP40-2 on either end, it had dynamic brakes, and it retained the fuel tank. Equipped with sensors, it could supply fuel to the GP40-2's, and keep the fuel load balanced between all units for better adhesion to the rails.

SP TEBU 1609
Title:  SP TEBU 1609
Description:  SP TEBU 1609 at Tucson, Arizona on November 21, 1985, photo by Chuck Zeiler. The SP had 14 of these TEBU's (Tractive Effort Booster Unit, #'s 1600-1613) made from U25B's. The first unit (#1600) was made by Morrison Knudsen, the rest were made by SP. They were generally placed between two modified GP40-2's (modified GP40-2 #'s 7940-7959, SSW #'s 7960-7966), and could transfer fuel between the TEBU's 2900 gallon fuel tank and the GP40-2's, balancing weight between units. They were equipped with dynamic brakes. This one was made from former SP 6713, rebuilt December 1981, assigned UP S316 but retired July 25, 2000 before receiving the number. It is stencilled: EL PASO EP M2 9-85.

It has an unusual mix of axle bearings, suggesting the use of trade-in components, or perhaps the SP rebuilt them, I don't know for sure

SP GP9E 3336
Title:  SP GP9E 3336
Description:  SP GP9E 3336, Tucson, Arizona, November 21, 1985, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Built as road number 5634 in February 1956 (c/n 21327) on EMD Order 5436, it became 3467 after the 1965 systemwide renumbering. It was rebuilt to a GP9E (or possibly a GP9R) and numbered 3336. It later became RS 105. A quick note about the GP9E/GP9R designation: The SP rebuilt hundreds of locomotives at its Sacramento Shops, starting in 1970 with a program designated R8. This involved selling the old locomotives to Southern Pacific Equipment Company (which paid for the rebuilding) and leasing the rebuilds back to SP (for the tax advantage), thus the E designation. Around 1977, the program became GRIP (General Rehabilitation and Improvement Program) with the merger of the Southern Pacific Equipment Company and the Southern Pacific Transportation Company (when the tax advantage was lost). Thereafter, rebuilt locomotives were designated with the R suffix (GP9R). Without knowing the rebuild date, one can only speculate about the correct model designation. Perhaps more than you ever want to know can be found here: http://utahrails.net/sp/sp-r8-grip.php
