| ATSF 4030 was one of 40 standard cab GP60 units built for Santa Fe. It was being exercised on the GMD test track on July 31, 1989. |
The
GP60 was the final four axle road switcher model ("Geep") produced by
General Motors. This locomotive was produced over the years 1985-1994.
Southern Pacific placed the largest order, acquiring 195 copies of the
standard cab version. Fully 95 of these were lettered for subsidiary
Cotton Belt (SSW). Santa Fe (ATSF) went for the variety pack, which
consisted of 40 standard cab units, 23 GP60B models, and 63 of the wide
cab GP60M type. Today's photos feature two examples from near the
middle of the production run.
