Diesel Locomotive SD60M-3 Tri-Clops, BNSF #8131

Starting in the mid 2010’s, BNSF overhauled a batch of SD60Ms. They were re-wired, rebuilt, repainted, and had remote control equipment installed in most of them. BNSF classifies these as ‘SD60M-3’s’. In this run, we are offering two road units, and one yard service version. 1405 retains its older BN carbody with brakewheel, while 1416 and 8131 has the newer rebuilt body with electronic brake ratchet. All 3 show slightly different versions of the current BNSF scheme.
