Western Railroad Discussion > SD60MsDate: 04/23/18 09:01 SD60Ms Author: CBRL A couple of SD60Ms the past week. First one is UP 2291, a 3-window job that looks a bit rusty but otherwise not bad. The second is 2-window 2484 that looks like the prep was started for repainting and not completed before the move. Both shot in Eugene, OR. Also saw an SD60 standard cab but not in a position to shoot it.

I guess the Oregon taggers have to wait for drier weather for the paint to stick. Date: 04/23/18 09:39 Re: SD60Ms Author: CBRL It is getting drier this week, but I think it may already be up in Portland waiting for paint (UP or otherwise).
Tom Trent Eugene, OR Date: 04/23/18 10:04 Re: SD60Ms Author: amtrak34east Since the C&O SD70ACe has been kabashed, maybe someone with a knack with painting stuff could paint this one(UP 2484) fully instead... :)

This seems to have been one that had defective paint from the get-go, and never made it to Jenks (or into the SD59MX rebuild program...)
