The GP60 model proved to be popular with Western-based carriers initially and was utilized on SP and ATSF high-speed intermodal services. NS acquired both GP59 and GP60 models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the mega-mergers in the 1990s, the GP60s found themselves in new paint schemes and in service for new railroads such as UP and BNSF. CSX began to acquire GP60s second-hand after 2010. Being assigned to locals and yard jobs, these distinctive locomotives are still in service today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAthearn brings these locomotives to the Roundhouse line for the first time ever; fully assembled, and equipped with LEDs, wire grabs, and an optional NCE DCC decoder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-content\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Athearn Roundhouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43185989910741,"sku":"RND12548","price":149.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/2349\/4332\/products\/5.jpg?v=1654903099","url":"https:\/\/www.eugenetoyandhobby.com\/products\/ho-gp60-emdx-5","provider":"Eugene Toy \u0026 Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
