Phil's post covers it well.  In short, the Seaboard Coast Line and its successor, the Seaboard System, ran a program to rebuild its old GP7s, GP9s, and GP18s, which allowed these first generation locomotives, now known as GP16s, to live on for a number of years longer and even survive the merger to become CSX property.
