BN SD45 6430, formerly Great Northern 400, was the first production model SD45 built (EMD demonstrators 4351-4353 preceeded it by five months). Delivered in May 1966 in GN's Omaha Orange and Pullman Green, the hefty 3600 horsepower unit was lettered HUSTLE MUSCLE in recognition of its distinctive position in dieseldom.

The SD45 is a six-axle diesel-electric locomotive class built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division between 1965 and 1971. It has an EMD 645E3 twenty-cylinder engine generating 3,600 hp (2,680 kW) on the same frame as the SD38, SD39, SD40, and SDP40.

BN inherited these 30 SD45's from the Northern Pacific. Over time BN removed the extra cab windows as well as the red warning gyrolight on the nose. In March 1973 the 6418 still in NP paint was severely damaged in a derailment near Skykomish, WA but was rebuilt, the only former NP SD45 I am aware of that was severely wrecked.

The F45 was just an SD45 with a full-width cowl carbody. Built from 1968 to 1971, this style of carbody was suppose to improve fuel economy by reducing wind drag. GN loved the idea and loved the looks of the F45.
