This former Santa Fe GP39-2 now wears a BNSF assigned number and a fairly clean coat of H1 paint. Delivered by EMD to Santa Fe as GP39-2 3636 in February 1975, to ATSF 3136 in anticipation of the SPSF merger in July 1985 then back to 3636 in July 1986, In November 1987 was released as GP39-2u after rebuilding and assigned 3437, keeping this number until the end of Santa Fe. A decade later in November 1997 this locomotive entered the paint shop and emerged wearing BNSF H1 paint and road number 2841. Compared to a lot of other units in H2 and H3 paint, this Geep is weathering much better. Note the Omaha Orange horn behind the dynamic brake fan. |
