 | The content of EMD GP39DC was merged into EMD GP39 on 08 August 2021. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists. For the discussion at that location, see its talk page. |
DC versions
[edit]You have the GP39DCs covered twice. The 23 GP39s are C&O 3900-3919; Atlanta & Saint Andrews Bay 507 and Kennecott Copper 1-2. --SSW9389 (talk) 12:30, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
- @SSW9389: It took 13 years, but the duplication has finally been addressed with a merger of the GP39DC article into this article! Trainsandotherthings (talk) 02:03, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

Proposed Merger
[edit]The article EMD GP39DC is covering a nearly identical variant of the GP39, of which only two were ever produced. It is unlikely the GP39DC page will ever advance beyond a stub because there is very little information specific to the GP39DC. I believe it would be better to merge the GP39DC into this article, so everything is in one place. Additionally, another editor has asserted that the GP39DC article is a duplicate as the two locomotives are also included in this page. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 18:57, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
- Support: There's no sense having a separate article for a barely distinguishable variant. (I personally would support merging both articles with the EMD GP39-2 article - see EMD F40PH for a good example of handling multiple variants in a single well-written article.)

- Support per nom. & π. AlgaeGraphix (talk) 23:23, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
I am going ahead with the merger as there is unanimous consent. It can always be reverted if someone has an objection. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 01:42, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
