- The first four SD60Fs were built for CN in 1985 and numbered 9900-9903. After extensive testing 60 more were built in 1989 and numbered 5504-5563 and the first four were re-numbered 5500-5503. They are still in use today and are seen at work in Nova Scotia, Quebec, Alberta and British Columbia.
The "draper taper" SD-60 F one of my favorite locomotive's
I must Admit CN’s are All over the place wow!
Now that they Come through Wis my wife and I hear them and watch them as Well.during the Summer when we Get off work and We see one we Wait at the old Soo line Depot And feel them Fly past and Feel the Rumble under our feet what a Rush.
I remember seeing these babies cruising the BNSF northern transcon not too many years ago in pure consists or even single units cut in with the BNSF power here in Washington state. They were very sleek looking and reminded me of all the F45's that used to roam around this territory in BN cascade green and black.
Just out of curiosity, why is there a B40 BW on the lead of the first train that went by? I am only asking because I thought this video is primarily about SD60F locomotives. Nice video though.
Great Video and great content keep up the great work thanks for sharing it with us enjoyed watching your video thanks again and hope you have a great day
Some of these I’ve caught on camera in Minnesota. The SD60Fs the Northern Plains have are: 5513, 5517, 5518, 5525, 5529, 5535, 5537, 5538, 5540-5543, 5547, 5562, and 5563. 5513 now has a New Cast P4 (No #3 Bell), 5525 & 5535 have New Cast P5s.
What does 5537 look like?

@@Chuterix When I went there it had its prime mover removed and the engine cover was alongside all the others by the maintenance shop. 5563 was in the shop.
belo vídeo desde criança sou apaixonado por tren não canso de ver
Knowing about these specific locomotives, and the time they were first placed in service, and knowing they are still in service today, do you know, for all of the hours, they've been in use, how many times they've been completely overhauled as a rebuild, or rehabbed?
Perhaps not as much as the GMD-1's have. John
Sadly These Locomotives Are In The Process Of Being Sold After They Were All Retired In April Of This Year
:(
Just heard a rumor that Aberdeen Carolina & Western bought 16 of them.
DJScott87 you are right... ACWR really likes CN engines
If you want to know where a few are still at work, some are on a small railway called the Northern Plains.
I think 5510 will be preserved
muito bom mesmo Brasil
+Luiz Carlos Thank you.
CN retired their SD60F’s, some sold to different railways, too.
@David Othen What kind of locomotives are being towed at 13:35?
looks like a class 66
Oh i like Blue paint of CN GE C40-8W 10:51
Ethan Campbell That’s a Blue Devil. There is only 12 of them but a few have been repainted. They are Ex Conrail and Ex LMS.
They retried all of these engines in march of 2017
A third of all the SD60Fs built are now owned by the Northern Plains Railroad. 5 of them are in service at the moment. They're 5513, 5517, 5518, 5525, & 5535.
