The locomotives were remanufactured in 1978 by the Paducah Locomotive Shops of the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad for the New Jersey Department of Transportation. These locomotives were operated for only three and a half to four years and were prematurely retired because NJ Transit received an FTA grant to buy F4O's and retrofit their steam generator equipped GP4O's with Head End Power.
The units were completely rewired with new Hypalon wiring. Straight welded sheet steel replaced carbody panels to eliminate maintenance. Because these units have two engines each, they are very reliable. Should one engine fail, the other is sufficient to bring the consist in to the terminal. BASIC INFORMATION
