ATSF SD39 #4006

: Santa Fe, NM, Summer, 1971

At the Santa Fe depot, I found ATSF SD39 #4006, one of the 20 EMD SD39s ATSF owned.

ATSF #4006 was built in 1969. She was repainted to yellow bonnet scheme in 1972 and rebuilt to SD39u #1560 in 1985. She became BNSF #6204 in 1997, #1914 in 2007, and GN #1914 in 2009.

EMD SD39 was built between 1968 and 1970 with the 2300hp prime mover. 54 units were sold in the United States.

The caboose next to the locomotive seems CE-1 series car, but cupola has peaked roof.
