AZL 65042-3 SD60M Burlington Northern #9218

American Z Line is excited to offer another all new class of locomotive. The SD60M.

AZL’s SD60s include directional controlled LED lighting, blackened metal wheels, traction tires, AZL AutoLatch™ couplers pre-installed front pilots/plows, optional truck with coupler and prototype specific details.

The SD60M features a "North American safety cab" design and has a full-width short hood. Early models until 1990 featured a three-piece windshield with vertical windows (nicknamed "triclops"), identical to the windshields found on EMD's SD40-2F and F59PH models.

Later production from 1991 used two windshield panes that were sloped back, and had a somewhat shorter nose tapered on the sides. Purchasers of this model included Conrail, Union Pacific, Burlington Northern and the Soo Line Railroad. Conrail orders were split between the Norfolk Southern and CSX back in 1999. All Norfolk Southern and CSX SD60M locomotives have either been scrapped, sold to new owners or retired.
