Delaware and Hudson purchased 20 new GP39-2âs from EMD in 1976. Unlike the ex-Reading/D&H 7400 class GP39-2âs, some details were updated. The D&H 7601-7620 class featured unique and redesigned stepwells with âswitcherâ style steps, the fuel tank was pushed back to the rearward position, and the fuel fillers/sight gauges were repositioned. After their lease expired, some were picked up by Union Pacific with class lights still installed and added front ditch lights.
