The “T” (or Tunnel) refers to the modified design of moving the air intake lower near the rear end walkway to bring in cooler air and thus reducing engine overheating in tunnels. With the success of the EMD SD45, SP ordered the SD45T-2, needing the higher HP to help move heavy freight over the steep grades of Donner and Tehachapi.
