I can't speak for the east coast, but both Southern Pacific and Santa Fe had them...like the GP40-2s, they were the HOT locomotives when new, but after four or five years they just became regular workhorses on whatever assignment they had. Right before the SP pulled out of the last branchlines in Oregon, I saw one GP-60 assigned to a three-day a week local on some of SP's worse track. Nice way to get some detail pictures, but a sad sight to see for such a locomotive. Now that the builders and railroads are all over six-axle power (for now, anyways), those four axle units are basically switchers. <br /> <br />Now that I live up in northwestern Montana, the only time I see a GP- is as a yard switcher in Whitefish or on the locals; rarely if ever on the through mainline trains. Saw a GP-60M on the MRL last week, sandwiched between a Dash 9-44CW and a SD40-2.
