GE's E-60's

[Blinkerdoors 0]

By the way: I understand the E-60's had problems when they 1st came out in the late 1970's.(I remember on March 19, 1977, I,17 years old, took an Amtrak train led by a GE E-60. When the train reached 30th St. Sta., Phila., PA, next thing I know, it was pulled by a GG-1, on my way to Washington, DC, where it arrived late in the afternoon.) If problems were fixed, because I saw, some years ago, on my way to Dover, abandoned E-60's by the way, do you think they would've succeeded on NJ Transit?

No they were not great in PP and they did not work well with at the then new Comet III's.

The E60's are great for low speed high volume freight.

...which is why they are still used by the Black Mesa & Lake Powell, Navajo Mine Railroad, Ferrocarriles Nacionales de México, Texas Utilities, and Deseret-Western Railway.
