The SF had yellow strobe lights mounted on cab roofs. Looked quite impressive at night.In 1989 these devices began to be removed and a couple yrs later were all gone. Looking over old notes, I have listed GP20 3002 @ Wichita,KS in October 1989 as the first unit seen w/the strobe light removed. In contrast, the old SF North Wichita yd switcher for many yrs, GP7 slug 1329 (now BNSF 3829) and still working @ the same yd, did not loose its strobe until 1991.
