Manufacturer Information:

EMD introduced the SD-50in the early 1980s with a 16 cylinder, 3500 h.p. engine to attain thepower that they had early gotten from a 20 cylinder locomotive. Thenew, longer frame allowed the dynamic brake resistors to be relocatedto a cooler area found between the central air intake and the cab.

The SD-60 varied little from its predecessor visually,the main changes taking place internally with the aging 645F enginebeing replaced by the 710G. The two locomotives can be distinguishedby the door panels; the SD-50 features four latched doors in six doorpanels whereas the SD-60 has six latched doors in eight door panels.

The “wide nose” or “safety cab”was first offered as an option to US railroads in 1988. Union Pacificreceived the first units in early 1989. In 1991, the contour of thenose was changed slightly, going from a 3-piece to 2-piece windshieldand tapering the sides of the nose to improve visibility for the crew.Burlington Northern was the first recipient of the revised model.
