| Soo SD60 locomotives 6034 and 6036 strut their stuff on the GMD test track on March 27, 1989. |
By Peter Mumby.
A
white paint scheme has never struck me as being particularly practical
for railway equipment. These two new Soo units look fine for now in the
afternoon sun, but we know the shine will turn to grime within a few
months.
Soo Line SD60
locomotives carried road numbers 6000 - 6062 ( although the final five
were equipped with wide cabs and carried the official model designation
SD60M ). The first 21 of these 3800 hp units were built by EMD in 1987,
while 6021 - 6062 were assembled in London by GMD in 1989. The final
engine to be delivered in the white scheme was number 6041. Units 6042 -
6062 were delivered in the candy apple red colour that was later
adopted by CP Rail System.
