These 1500-horsepower high-nose hood units were built 1950-1954
by EMD. Originally delivered in the black & silver (or was it black
& white & silver? click
here or here)
"zebra stripe" livery, they were subsequently repainted into the blue &
yellow "pinstripe" or "bookend" livery during the early 1960s (click
here for two examples from 1965). Most units were rebuilt
to GP7u by the Santa Fe shops between 1972 and 1981. All rebuilt
units received the blue & yellow "warbonnet" livery along with chopped
short hoods for improved visibility. The early
rebuilds retained the round cab roof; later
ones received the angled "Topeka" cabs with rooftop air conditioners.
Units that originally had dynamic brakes had them removed and the bulges
plated over in order to make way for the four-stack "liberated" exhaust
all rebuilt units received. Many units that were rebuilt later in this
period received the warbonnet livery before being rebuilt. As with
many other Santa Fe diesels in the early 1970s, the early warbonnet paint
jobs came with blue handrail stanchions, yellow handrails and black trucks
(as the class unit displays here)
while later
versions had both the stanchions and handrails painted yellow and had
silver trucks. The first two units rebuilt to slug mothers, originally
numbered 2246 and 2247, had a version
of the warbonnet livery that included all-yellow steps, matching the slugs;
they were renumbered 1310 and 1311 to make way for the 2244-class rebuilt
GP9s.
The table below covers the period from original delivery of the
class up until the rebuilds. Certain members of the class survived
into the BNSF merger; most of those are covered in Gene
Crossett's SF Diesel Roster. The class includes 5 cabless booster
units, charted below.
