Starting in 1986, Santa Fe rebuilt 50 GP39-2’s in their Cleburne, TX
shops, designating them as “GP39-2u’s”. The “u” stood for “upgrade”
which was a common term for Santa Fe rebuilds during this time. Other
than the mechanical and electrical upgrades, Santa Fe added some unique
details that distinguish these from their non-rebuild counterparts.
These changes include: Fuel tank moved to the rear, new “swing out”
style number boards, new style exhaust stack, and added an equipment
door to the right side hood, just behind the cab. They also featured
“switcher” style walkway steps for crew comfort during switching moves. A
few even received modified corrugated radiator grilles.
