EMD GP60

Diesel and Electric Locomotives

The EMD GP60 is a four-axle diesel-electric locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division from 1985 to 1994 and was EMD's first third-generation locomotive, with microprocessors replacing hundreds of wiring circuits and dozens of relays. A 16-cylinder 710G3A engine produced 3,800 horsepower. EMD built 294 GP60, 23 cabless GP60B and 63 GP60M units, the last two bought only by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. Southern Pacific bought the largest fleet, 195 units ordered between December 1987 and February 1994. Apart from later collaborations with Motive Power Incorporated, it was the last new EMD Geep.
