I have also seen such a rebuild ID sticker on at least a few of the EJ&E SD39 units rebuilt about two years back (I believe).

The IHB GP40 series (4010-4019) and the rebuilt SW1500's (1500 series) were all rebuilt under a contract with GE.

Every once in a while, I will see a former SP SD40T-2 that has GECX on it. It is nice since the GECX is usually the only alteration to the paint job, but not as nice as seeing a pure SP SD40T-2.

Plenty of SOO Line SD60s also have them. Ive seen numerous SD40-2s, and a WC GP38-2 with that sticker too.

GE sells a kit to upgrade EMD SD40-2 and GP40-2 locomotives to meet Tier 0 emissions, what you are probably seeing is the EPA required sticker that certifies the locomotive meets Tier 0 emissions standards.

GE has been owning and rebuilding EMD locomotives for years . GE also has a good sized EMD lease fleet .

That would be a first. Like putting a GE cab on an EMD Locomotive,LOL. That would be cool to see.
