Great shot!! What are they doing to it in this photo? Also, I assume in 1998 they white was covering phase III and they were about to apply phase IV?

I believe they were converting this locomotive from DC to AC traction as well as repainting it into Phase IV. If you look close you'll note the unit is stripped of all its electrical connections, many under carriage components are removed, and the roof panels have been taken off.

@Matt Donnelly Interesting. Now that you say that I do notice that the unit is very stripped down as well.

Wow!! Spooky!! :)
