the gp-7 & 9 sd-7-9-24 all had the emd plate with model number and serials
numbers on it and then usually above that plate in big letters and numberswere
the model numbers
sample would look like this SD

Looking at pictures on RRpicturearchives the plate does appear to be a trust
plate. It remained on the units into their BN days but in photos of the ex-Q
SD24's in the final days on BN the plates are gone.
The Mars light is only on the front short hood on the SD24's. The long hood or
rear only has the twin-sealed beam headlight.

Hello,
In looking at pictures of the Q SD24s, it appears that there are possibly 2
builder's plates on each side of the locomotives. The bottom one looks to be
one of the EMD "hot dog" style plates, but I'm unable to identify the upper
one. Can anyone shed any light on this plate? Also, did the units have the
gyralights installed on the end of the long hoods in addition to the short
hoods like the GPs and SDs previous to them had?
Thanks!
