I have these locomotives, one of them I don't know the exact model and I tried to share this on a different board but the subject quickly got off-topic (quicker than usual)
are all 4 of these GP40-2's?
I can't tell what kind the Santa Fe one is, it looks similar but it has some unique characteristics so its hard to tell

For starters, thé 5707SF unit is a six axle, so an SD

I would do a google search on the model maker, road name and number.

Looks like you have an SD40, a GP40-2, and two GP40s.
Make that 5707 Santa Fe unit an SD40-2. See the long open porches at each end.

That was my first thought as well, but it has Flexicoil trucks. It looks like an old IHC/Mehano unit, and I don't THINK they did a 40-2.
It might be better, in the future, to post closeup pictures from the side and top - this should simplify identification.
Without better pictures, the 5707 is hard to tell exactly. It looks like the Mehano unit which is marketed as a SD-40, but in Santa Fe world, 5707 was a SD45-2. This unit is not a SD45-2. SD40-2's had longer porches than the unit pictured appears to have.

Mehano did a SD40-2 .I know this for a fact as I own one. for a single power truck it runs surprizingly well.
