SD60M Diesel Locomotive

Prototype Information:

The SD60 is essentially identical to the SD50 externally, but has a different prime mover, the new 16-cylinder EMD 710G3A, and a computer-controlled electrical system. Chicago & North Western’s railroad manual estimated that the SD60 is 3% more fuel efficient than one SD50, while a pair of SD60s was up to 16% more efficient than three SD40s pulling a standard coal train.

The SD60M features a “North American safety cab” design and has a full-width short hood. Early models until 1990 featured a three-piece windshield with vertical windows (nicknamed “triclops”), identical to the windshields found on EMD’s SD40-2F and F59PH models. Later production from 1991 used two windshield panes that were sloped back, and had a somewhat shorter nose tapered on the sides.
