BNSF Swoosh SD60M Renumbering
Does anybody know any information on the Swoosh SD60M's renumbering's? I have noted that 8146 has been renumbered to 1426 and 8199 has been renumbered to 1476. Any information is welcome, Thanks, Matt

They are all being renumbered to the 1400's to make room for more ES44C4.

I've also seen pictures of a few that have been equipped with remote control for switching and humping operations.

Never thought I would actually see the day when an SD60M would be considered a switcher or hump yard power.... But I am sure somebody said that 30 years ago about SD40-2'sI've also seen pictures of a few that have been equipped with remote control for switching and humping operations.

Lots of people hated SD40-2's because they were everywhere too...SousaKerry wrote:Never thought I would actually see the day when an SD60M would be considered a switcher or hump yard power....
