What was done during the rebuild, besides the obvious. Does it retain the same prime mover, traction motors, trucks, ect.....

No. As far as under the hood goes, they are GP-38's. Theyw ere supposed to be -2's but I don't know if they actually got that rating or not.

Ahh, so they re-motored them to be Geep's to be easier to maintain system wide....
