Built 1985-1994, most still in service. Primary Assignment:
Fast intermodal and light, priority freight; later used
in general freight service as well as local and yard work.
As
computer technology advanced in the 1980s, EMD took a major
step forward with the introduction of the new GP60. Directly
behind the cab, a trio of onboard microprocessors regulated
and ran various onboard systems, replacing complex wiring
circuits and relays. Coaxing 3,800 horsepower from its
16-cylinder 710G3A prime mover, the four-axle GP60 was
well suited for
fast freight service and was often seen on the point of
priority trains when new. While the GP60 proved the advantages
of
computer control, potential buyers were more interested
in six-axle power, and EMD focused its development efforts
on
the bigger units. For now, the GP60 may be the last in
a long line of geeps.
