BO 5939         
I think someone messed with the number on the cab. It probably is 5939 not the 5339 it looks like.

Daniel Duggan General This is an ex-C&O GP9, probably 5939. There appear to be scrapes on and below the cab, and maybe the wrong stencil was used at first. DanDuggan 8/31/2007 11:30:46 AM
Tim Huemmer General Looks like 5939 to me as well. 8/31/2007 4:24:47 PM
Ron Moraca General Excellent photo of a highnose B&O GP9, C.W.! Very sloppy attempt by some employee to remove the first "3", evidently applied by mistake. No "3" can be into a "9". That's impossible. 1/27/2009 7:07:08 PM
Steve Kaslik General It looks like the unit was involved in a small side-swipe accident, rather than a crude attempt to cover an error. 8/30/2013 12:20:14 PM
