In 1984, EMD unveiled the first four SD60 demonstrator locomotives. The SD60 was equipped with a 3,800 horsepower, 16 cylinder, turbocharged 710G3A prime mover. Five years later, EMD began offering the SD60 with the wide nose "safety" cab with the infamous "Tri-Clops" 3-piece windshield, thus creating the SD60M. The term "Tri-clops" is a popular railfan nickname that refers to the original 3-window cab design.
