Nostalgia & History > Oakway SD-60's on BNDate: 04/15/05 04:11 Oakway SD-60's on BN Author: gg1tim From one of my trips to Colo. & Wyo in the late 1980's is a solid lashup of Oakway SD-60's led by # 9006 at Bill, Wyo.on 07-26-87 with an SDEX coal train.

And yes, they still retain their original paint schemmes. I see them through Longmont, CO quite a bit and we currently have one on the local that goes back and forth to Cheyenne.
Nice pics, thanks for sharing. Joel Date: 04/15/05 07:17 Re: Oakway SD-60's on BN Author: wabash2800 I always liked that paint scheme.

mark Date: 04/15/05 14:05 Re: Oakway SD-60's on BN Author: jcnienow "Oakway" was the leasing subdivision of EMD. GM had several "corporations" for handling
various sub-functions. At one point they had Argonaut Realty, the owner of all their buildings.
