Below is a photo of GP40TC #199 at Amtrak's Wilmington, DE shops - by Doug Allen. The 199 was the first GP40TC to undergo an extensive rebuild to prepare the loco for work train service. New addtions included the installation of a rear red flashing strobe, along with ditchlights on the front and rear. The locomotive has track receiver bars on the rear now so it can operate in reverse as the lead loco on trains. In these pictures, the front plate is still on the 199, but it has been taken off for the installation of the ditchlights.
