Western Railroad Discussion > UP SD60M #2365 with wingsDate: 09/27/01 20:13 UP SD60M #2365 with wings Author: redneckrailfan Here's a nice freshly repainted SD60M complete with lightning stripe and wings. Note that the lightning stripe is high on the carbody similar to SD70M's, unlike some of the repaints coming from UP shops which have the stripe very low. I prefer the higher stripe myself. Photo location is Louisville,KY on CSX.

Also notice how the wings do not wrap around to the sides of the nose because this unit is a Phase 1 SD60M with a full-width nose. Phase 2 units (and SD70Ms) have a slightly tapered nose which would account for the wraparound. Yes, the 2365 does look good with wings. === Paul H! in AtasCal |
