I haven't seen any others with that design. Paul T had mentioned at one that
he thought possibly two or three got stripes, but that the dirt factor (and
maybe the big bright yellow nose visibility :) might have killed off tha idea.

Another question (after poking around for plow stripes) is if any of the
first batch of SDP45's got plows on the pilots retrofitted? Did this ever
affect assignments in the winter?

The 3654 through 3667 had plows, but the DERECO units, 3635 to 3653 didn't and
I haven't seen (or don't recall seeing) any photos of those units showing a
plow.
