SD60M

The EMD SD60M is a 3,200 horsepower (2,387 kW) diesel-electric locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division. The "M" in SD60M stands for "Modular," indicating its construction using a modular system that allowed for easier maintenance and upgrades. These locomotives were primarily built for freight service.

The SD60M features a high-traction truck design and a wide, comfortable cab for the crew. A distinctive feature of many SD60M locomotives is the "wide cab" design, offering improved visibility and crew comfort compared to earlier models. They were equipped with the EMD 710G3B 16-cylinder engine, known for its reliability and fuel efficiency.

Production of the SD60M began in the late 1980s and continued into the 1990s. They were widely used by various North American Class I railroads, including Union Pacific, Burlington Northern, and Conrail. Many of these locomotives remain in service today, often rebuilt or reconfigured for different roles. Their robust construction and powerful performance made them a workhorse for heavy freight hauling.
