It had been built in October 1968 as Penn Central 3174 (EMD 34615) and was acquired by the KCS in January 1984, after its initial 15-year lease expired. It was renumbered 4753 in early and was sent it to Morrison- Knudsen’s BOISE LOCOMOTIVE SHOP in September 1991 as partial payment for remanufacturing 16 GP40M-2’s into GP40’s 4780-4795. M-K remanufactured it into New Jersey Transit GP40PH-2 4147 in March 1993. |
