The GP60 model proved to be popular with Western- based carriers initially, and was utilized on SP and ATSF high-speed intermodal service. NS acquired both GP59 and GP60 models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eAfter the mega-mergers in the 1990s, the GP60s found themselves in new paint schemes and in service for new railroads such as UP and BNSF. CSX began to acquire GP60s second hand after 2010. Being assigned to locals and yard jobs, these distinctive locomotives are still in service today. \u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"consumerWebCopyDiv\" class=\"wrapDiv\"\u003e\n      \u003ch3 id=\"consumerWebCopy\"\u003eLEGENDARY LIVERIES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eWhat are Legendary Liveries?
