In 1981, BN ordered 40 late versions of the GP39-2âs from EMD. BNSF inherited both BN and Santa Fe active motive power after the merger of 1995. Many of the BN painted units lasted quite a while in their original paint. By the late 2010âs, BNSF started to repaint their ex-BN fleet of GP39-2âs into their current corporate colors. A few were retrofitted for remote service. They can be seen operating in yards and local service.
