Comments on: Face to Face. 4/14/16. CN SD60″s 5475/5419 (ex GMTX 9063/9055) await servicing at Mac Yrd diesel shop. Canadian National (CN) acquired 90 second-hand EMD SD60 locomotives originally built for Oakway Leasing (later managed by GATX/GMTX). The former GMTX/Oakway units were repainted and upgraded to CN specifications, and assigned to the CN 5400–5489 number series. Background: Built between 1984 and 1995, these 3,800-horsepower locomotives were leased to Burlington Northern and BNSF in an Oakway blue and white livery before CN purchased them around 2012. Acquisition Details: CN purchased a large batch of ex-GMTX/EMDX SD60s to offset power shortages. The transaction included 90 units in total. [1, 2] Operational Status: While most were upgraded and repainted into CN’s standard paint scheme (and many saw heavy mainline use, such as on train L506 in Minnesota), several have been sidelined for maintenance or retired as the fleet ages.
