The locomotive was rebuilt (likely by EMD) with a new cab. Also, as a result of the wreck repairs, UP 999 was the only UP E7 to ever receive the square vents along its carbody, replacing the as-delivered side windows (see page 196 in Diesels of the Union Pacific, The Classic Era - Volume 1 by Don Strack).

Due their age (15 years), both units were found to not be economically repairable and were sent to EMD in September 1961 as direct trade-in for UP E9s 908 and 909.
