U33C #491 in D&H lightning bolt paint

The D&H merger brought along 9 GE U33Cs, which were an odd locomotive out and didn’t last past the early 1990s. D&H #757 & 760 were immediately sold (and never renumbered), 492-497 were sold to GE for their Super 7 program in 1988, and 491 hung on for a year longer before being sent to the TdM shops to be remanufactured into a rsx51-G636 and sold to one of the many shortlines that had popped up in the NE US & Atlantic Canada.
