That's what I was thinking. Santa Fe, for example, had a GE maintenance contract on their B23-7s, which I'm told included overhauls and rebuilds of the FDLs. So this isn't anything new. GE must have done a pretty decent job because the shortlines and regionals that have purchased those ex-ATSF B23s seem to be happy with them. An official from one such railroad remarked that the batch his railroad acquired was "very well maintained."
