Once repaired, the unit will emerge with a new EMD cab without the iconic WP "Golden Glow" reflector headlight, and will sport a standard twin sealed beam headlight and will be repainted into WP's new corporate color of Pearlman Green.

WP GP40 3512 leads a trio of GEs eastbound in a small plume of diesel exhaust in June 1978.

WP GP 20 2007 visits the Stockton service tracks in November 1971. The Zephyr inspired orange and silver paint is still looking good at this point, and even the older F7-B doesn’t look too bad either.
