Eastern Railroad Discussion > Carload Express SD60M'sDate: 10/14/20 15:17 Carload Express SD60M's Author: JUTower Greetings:
The first of six of Carload Express's SD60M units is nearly complete at Metro East Industries in E. St. Louis, IL. CLXX 6001-6006 are former NS units built for Conrail in 1993, and are being upgraded with modern air brake and electronics (CCBII and ZTR Nexsys) and are equipped with PTC and cab signal for operations over NS trackage rights in PA. Delivery of the six is anticipated to be completed in early 2021. Thanks for looking! -Alex Date: 10/14/20 15:22 Re: Carload Express SD60M's Author: CNW8531 Those are nice looking engines!

Date: 10/15/20 08:21 Re: Carload Express SD60M's Author: alcoiowa Just because you don't like Alcos does not make them junk. The D-L Alcos run pretty darn good, plus they are easier on fuel (Your mileage may vary).
I will have to say that the SD60s sure look good in the Carload Express paint scheme. Fred Cheney Iowa City, IA Date: 10/15/20 10:16 Re: Carload Express SD60M's Author: EL-SD45-3632 railcity Wrote:
