Morrison-Knudsen was a major leaser of secondhand locomotives in the 80s and 90s. During this time, a group of ex-Conrail SDP45s were on the lease roster. MK acquired these former CR SDP45s from VMV and they were leased to a variety of railroads including the SP until 1996.
Although many of the former EL/CR SDP45s were rebuilt into SD40M-2s, a few were not, and left as-is for the remainder of their service throughout the western United States.
