Product Description

Add the last of Electro-Motive Division's famed "Geeps" to your HO roster with the WalthersProto EMD GP60 diesel locomotive. Built between 1985 and 1994, the prototype featured state-of-the-art microprocessor systems and a 3,800 hp 16-cylinder 710G3A prime mover. These four axle units could be found on priority intermodal and fast freight assignments and continue to serve on class one railroads into the 2020s. The GP60 also accurately recreates the prototype with upgraded tooling and roadname-specific details.

Norfolk Southern and the GP60

Norfolk Southern Railway was formed in 1982 through the merger of the Norfolk & Western and Southern Railway systems, creating one of the largest and most successful freight railroads in the eastern United States. Operating across much of the East Coast and Midwest, Norfolk Southern became a major transporter of coal, intermodal traffic, automobiles, chemicals, and manufactured goods. The railroad is known for its modern black-and-white locomotive fleet and its strong focus on efficient freight operations. Through acquisitions and continued expansion, Norfolk Southern has remained one of North America’s most important Class I railroads.

Norfolk Southern operated the EMD GP60 locomotive during the late 1980s and 1990s as part of its modern high-horsepower diesel fleet. Built by Electro-Motive Division and rated at 3,800 horsepower, the GP60 offered improved electronics, strong acceleration, and reliable performance for fast freight and intermodal service. Norfolk Southern utilized these locomotives on priority merchandise trains, stack trains, and general freight assignments across its eastern network. Wearing Norfolk Southern’s distinctive black paint scheme with white lettering, the GP60 became a recognizable part of the railroad’s diesel roster during the transition to more advanced locomotive technology in the late 20th century.
