This is literally just a random SD9 that isn't remarkable in any way. Fails GNG by a mile, with what isn't straight up original research sourced only to one dude's self published railfan site and a single museum which once owned the locomotive. This isn't even a preserved locomotive. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 02:27, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It very much seems to be a locomotive that had a normal life as a locomotive, which is good but also not notable. TartarTorte 13:41, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Saddens me as a railfan, but this and the 4450 could be a brief mention in the main article about the locomotive type themselves, nothing notable about these two. Leaning delete. Oaktree b (talk) 20:16, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I can agree with you on that front. While there are wikis specifically for trains, none have anything close to the viewership, credibility, or centralization of wikipedia. I wish there were a way to keep non-notable but generally interesting articles in maybe a different way. TartarTorte 19:46, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
