These locomotives received updated electronics, modified pilots, modern lighting packages, and railroad-specific appliances that gave them a distinctive appearance compared to earlier GP40-2s. Road number 3001 stands out with its low-clearance pilot step wells, Heritage 4 paint scheme, cab-mounted headlight arrangement, antenna package, and detailed BNSF-specific pilot and underframe features.
