Anyone know what's been upgraded by Progress Rail on the overhaul of the MARC units? -3 means new control system ... anything else? New HEP engine maybe?

Progress is overhauling all 6 GP39s in Patterson, GA. 70, 71 & 75 are done already. The rest should be completed this year.

Are they doing anything with the MARC III cars? I keep seeing stuff getting pulled down there on NS freights off Virtual Railfan.
