What kind of trucks did the SD-45 have? What are the differences in those trucks? And did any other locomotives have the same type of trucks as the SD-45?

Thanks!

SD45 was fitted with HTC truck and so was the SD40-2

Some SD45 were fitted with Flexicoil C2 series truck, so was the
SD38, & SD40.

SD50, SD60, & SD70 were fitted with the HTCR truck.

Corrections welcome :)

SD40 and SD45s all had the Flexicoil.

SD40-2, SD45-2, SD50, SD60s all had the HTC
(except for CR SD40-2 and SD50s, they had Flexicoil)

SD70 and 80s have HTCR, SD70 phase-2 and SD90s have HTCRII
(I think)
