Correct! This is not an SDP35, because it does not have the extended long hood (former steam generator) that featured on EMD SDP-series locomotives. In fact, this isn't even an SD-series locomotive, as evident by SWPC 412 having 4 axles instead of 6. A quick Google search has brought me to a website called trainweb.org, which has an unofficial roster of the SWPC. According to this roster, SWPC 412 was an EMD GP40 with the serial number 33495. It was built in October 1967 as NYC 3084, became PC 3084 in 1968 with the merger of the NYC into Penn Central, before becoming CR 3084 with Conrail's founding in 1976. It then spent the 1980s as SWPC 412 before being scrapped in 1994. For more information: http://www.trainweb.org/rosters/SWPC.html
