Proposed merger of EMD GP39 and EMD GP39DC
Hello! As you are the creator of the page EMD GP39DC, I wanted to let you know I am proposing it be merged into EMD GP39 and that you may want to weigh in on the discussion at Talk:EMD GP39. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 19:04, 3 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the update. I had an unexpected wikibreak last week starting with my wedding anniversary on Monday.  In general, I have very few objections to edits that improve the presentation of railway material on WP, and this merge seemed logical.  I noticed one missing period and I'll have to go back to the references in my personal library to get some page numbers and maybe more information. Slambo (Speak)  14:08, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
