GP60 Walkaround

SP GP 60 #9714 at South Bend, Indiana - 77k

If your into nitpicky type details, I have a breakdown of the number series and their relevant features. check the SP/SSW/DRGW GP60 detail breakdown, for details of locos as delivered.

SP/SSW GP60's came in 6 separate orders, with several detail variations and 3 paint schemes. One major spotting difference between early and late orders; was the dynamic hatch. Labeled by railfans as Phase 1 (rounded construction) and Phase II (angled construction).
