Following a major electrical fire, 2500 was rebuilt in Fond du Lac to what WC called a SD39-3 in early 2000. It retains its 16-567 turbo-charged prime mover but has been derated to 2300 h.p. It was done due to space restraints in the new electrical cabinet; lowering horsepower reduced number of transition steps which allows less number of electrical components. Info from Extra 2200 South

Nice info above, I was wondering what the deal was with it and what kind of changes had been made under the hood. Great shot & Super catch that was.
