Description
A Cotton Belt (St. Louis Southwestern) EMD GP60 pulls past a Southern Pacific EMD SD40T-2 and out of the San Luis Obispo train station in 1996.
Little had changed in locomotive styling at General Motors' Electro-Motive Division between 1963's GP35 and 1980 when the GP50 came out. Carrying the GP50 styling over to the GP60 series in 1985, these 1980's locomotives had much more angular car body details than their predecessors, such as the SD40T-2 beside it or SD45 behind.
