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.

After the 1995 Burlington Northern Santa Fe merger, many units were patched to the initials of their new corporate owner. One unique unit, #9235 received a large Burlington Northern Santa Fe font on the sides of the cab. Reportedly used from stencils for covered hoppers, it seems that it was the easiest thing to do to get the unit back on the road in a timely manner!
