But I believe these units were essentially intact when retired, especially since only six of the GP7's and one F7B survived beyond the 1985/86 purge of 567...
As built, the GP30 and GP35 had 567 blocks. GP30 #2000 was rebuilt in 1974 and renumbered to 2504 as it received a 645 block. The bulk of the EMD MRS-1's were...

From Comb's site. The Alaska Railroad acquired GP30 #2000 new from EMD in 1963 (builder #28171). In 1974 it was rebuilt to a GP30u and was renumber to 2504. ...

That photo is from Eielson. Andy is correct; Elmendorf has/had F-15's, Eielson has F-16's. A few F-16's come down to Elmendorf from time to time (air shows)...
