Can anyone help me get some info on GP59’s. When they where built and if any one knows when NS put OLS on some of them? Thanks

For NS, 4606-4608 were built in 1985, and the rest of the roster (4609-4641) were built in 1989.

Mike is right. The first three were built as EMD demos 8-10 in June of 1985 and sold to NS in October of 1986. NS bought 33 more at the end of 1989 and that is all of them. 4636 is gone and perhaps some others as well.

4610 is in Southern Green paint.

4629-4641 are all in OLS paint
