The EMD GP60 is a model of 4-axle (B-B) diesel-electric locomotive built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division between 1985 and 1994. [1] The GP60 was EMD's first engine that was classified as a "third-generation" locomotive.

2023年9月20日 · A rare pair of Geep diesel locomotives, the GP15D and GP20D, looked like sure winners, but sank with hardly a ripple when they hit the market in the early 2000s.

2015年11月24日 · uilt by General Motor's Electro-Motive Division, the GP7 and GP9 models were four-axle (B-B) road switcher diesel-electric locomotives between October 1949 and May 1963. Known among many as "Geeps", these General Purpose models were the first EMD road locomotives to use a hood unit design instead of a car-body design like the F and E units.

2024年12月16日 · While the model signaled the end of EMD's four-axle line it featured the latest advancements, including microprocessor controls, which marked another significant step forward in locomotive technology. In addition, its 3,800 horsepower made the GP60 the most powerful Geep ever produced. The model sold slightly better than its predecessor - the GP50.

2024年12月17日 · Except for the later GP40 and GP40-2, the GP38 series was EMD’s most successful second-generation Geep and fit exactly what railroads were looking for in terms of horsepower and quality.

In the years immediately following World War II, the Electro-Motive Division of General Motors lorded over the marketplace for main line freight diesel locomotives, churning out its landmark ...

EMD (Electromotive Div of GM) GP Diesel Locomotives The GPs (called Geeps) were introduced in the 50's as roadswitchers, and proved themselves so versatile that they played a part in the extinction of steam. Above is the Lionel model of the GP-7, #2328. This was my very first Lionel train, and was a gift to me by an uncle on the occasion of my ...
