yard units retaining transition.

switchers. Later changed to 23 units.

to keep units in separate blocks was lost.

9. 6704, 6709 sold.
10. Only two units each model rebuilt in 1984. 6700 6708 and 6712 6720.
Only four units to get m.u.
..... Program ended for low horsepower units. Most remaining given roller
bearings and overhauled when due.

other 1200 hp units.
