During this time a group of ex-Conrail SDP45s were on the lease roster. MK acquired these former CR SDP45s from VMV and 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.
