[quote user="Andrew Falconer"] <p>Because of power sharing on the CN many SD50s and SD60s have rolled through in the past 20 years. They have had the schemes of Oakway, SOO, CNW, BN, UP, and CSX. There were even the rare appearance of KCS and D&RGW units. Get on a line that shares a lot of power and you will see the SD50 and SD60.</p><p>Andrew</p><p>[/quote]</p><p>Don't forget that CN also has cowl-body SD50F and SD60Fs.</p><p>I think, maybe, that one of the reasons that the SD60s get over looked is that the SD50s got so much bad press as the problems became apparent that by the time that settled down EMD was already announcing the 70 series. </p><p>I suppose that because the SD60s didn't have the problems of the 50 series, and the fact that they looked just identical to the SD50s, or the huge single orders of the 70 series (BNSF 70MACs, UP 70Ms) they are notable for not being notable. They do what they were made to do and do it well without a fuss. Just what the builder intended. </p>
