Conrail SD60M
Within the SD60M class is one main spotting difference; marker lights. 5500-5514 were built with FRA flush mounted marker lights until a study done within Conrail declared the protruding lights caused a safety concern. Subsequently, the remaining order, 5515-5574 were recessed.
The units were built with a 2 piece front windshield and 4 piece side windows without sun visors. The side windows are built on an easy slide track design and combined with the tinted glass provide superior crew comfort.
Dimension
The SD60M is 71' 7" in length over the couplers and stands 15' 7 1/4" high over the cooling fan guardThe unit is 10' 1" wide over the snowplow
Distance between the bolsters is 45' 10"
