I see NS freights everyday coming into Oak Island Rail yard and seem to catch a freight with 3 or 4 GP60s all the time. NS uses the standard cab.

Santa Fe ordered two types of GP60s, one was the cabless B unit and the others were the GP60M which have the cab of a SD70M on it. Supposedly these units did not handle very well due to the over heavy front end on the North American Safty Cab (M)


Remember the GP60 is a 3800HP 4 axle Locomotive.
