With no directreplacements on the horizon, in the 1980s the decision was made to rebuildand upgrade many of the original FL9s. Rebuilding typically included theaddition of HEP (Head End Power) to replace the older steam heat boilers,as well as upgraded braking systems and electronics. These rebuilds weredone in several batches for Metro North and Amtrak. Notable among theserebuilt units were those which were sold to the Connecticut Department ofTransportation and were rebuilt by Morrison-Knudsen in 1984-1985.
