The work that will be required in 2019 is nowhere near as extensive as what was required on the overhaul of 2002 - 2005. That overhaul included major running gear work with the entire running gear out from under the locomotive. The 765 was nothing more than a bare boiler sitting on 12x12 cribbing for 3 years! That will not be needed in 2019.

 

The 2019 work will be the boiler inspection required under CFR 230 and whatever other annual items that may come up. In comparison to the 2002 - 2005 overhaul, it is much less work.
