PROTOTYPE SPECIFIC INFORMATION
When the GP59’s and GP60’s were first introduced, three demonstrator
versions of each type were tested and evaluated all around the USA by
many railroads. The GP60 model proved to be popular with Westernbased carriers initially, and was utilized on SP and ATSF high-speed intermodal service. NS acquired both GP59 and GP60 models.
After 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.
