The Race Is On at Dike/Devore - SP vs Santa Fe

Southern Pacific SD45 #8862 west and an eastbound Santa Fe freight have it notched to Run 8 as they head up Cajon Pass in 1982.
Santa Fe engines don't seem to put out nearly as much exhaust smoke as SP engines. How did they do that?
 
SP's approach was known as: Deferred maintenance - The failure to perform needed repair, maintenance, and renewal by normal maintenance.
