    The SD60M features a "North American safety cab" design and has a full-width short hood. Early models until 1990 featured a three-piece windshield with vertical windows (nicknamed "triclops"), identical to the windshields found on EMD's SD40-2F and F59PH models. Later production from 1991 used two windshield panes that were sloped back, and had a somewhat shorter nose tapered on the sides. Purchasers of this model included Conrail, Union Pacific, Burlington Northern and the Soo Line Railroad. Conrail orders were split between the Norfolk Southern and CSX back in 1999. All Norfolk Southern and CSX SD60M locomotives have either been scrapped, sold to new owners, or retired.

    Hopefully a BN or BNSF version could also be made and included in a BN or BNSF route in the future. I still like the Triclops versions of the SD60M.

    Love the Idea but it be Really Nice if we could get Conrail first given Conrail had 3 versions a SD60M & SD60I which would hit 2 birds with one stone third version being Standard Cab.

    DTG needs a Conrail license 1st, which they still haven't gotten from the CSAO yet. (The NS heritage unit on TSC doesn't count.)
