Description
In 1984, EMD unveiled the first four SD60 demonstrator locomotives. The SD60 was equipped with a 3,800 horsepower, 16 cylinder, turbocharged 710G3A prime mover. Five years later, EMD began offering the SD60 with the wide nose "safety" cab with the infamous "Tri-Clops" 3-piece windshield, thus creating the SD60M. The term "Tri-clops" is a popular railfan nickname that refers to the original 3-window cab design.
UP FEATURES:
Late red sill era
Front illuminated number boards
Front ditch lights
Road number specific details
To make room for the onslaught of arriving new motive power, UP renumbered (and in some cases repainted) their aging fleet of SD60M's. Retaining the red stripe sill, these units operated into the mid 2000's before the full adaptation of adding the yellow stripes. Some fully repainted UP units were updated with UP's "Lightning Stripe" scheme with wings on the nose. We are offering 4 different paint variations including a faded Prime for Grime version to add some variety to your fleet!
