The SD60E (E for “Enhanced”) program adds the major advances in locomotive technology in the ensuing three decades: improved crashworthiness, better fuel efficiency, lower emissions and a more user-friendly crew environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe most obvious change is the new Crescent Cab, designed in-house and named for the NS’s Crescent Corridor, an infrastructure project that speeds up traffic across 11 states from Louisiana to New York. Built for a post-caboose era when the entire train crew rides in the locomotive, the cab is “one of the roomiest ever built” according to NS, and incorporates a large sun visor, padded floor and ceiling, a desk for the conductor, an air-controlled stainless steel restroom, and improved crash protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the engine room, a completely rebuilt 16-cylinder model 710G3B prime mover delivers 4,000 hp, 200 more than the original engine. Electronic fuel injection is only one of the improvements that helps this motor deliver lower emissions and better fuel economy than the stock 1980s power plant. Another is a patented dual-circuit or “split” cooling system that makes the new engine run 40 to 50 degrees cooler than the original. It was designed by two NS employees who describe themselves as “old hot rodders,” drawing on ideas from high-performance racing engines. The improved 710 diesel also features automatic stop\/start to reduce unnecessary idling, saving both fuel and engine wear. In addition, a GPS-based computer system tells the engineer the optimum train speed for maximum fuel efficiency at any point on the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince the start of the SD60E program in 2010, several locomotives have received special commemorative paint schemes. Unveiled at Altoona in November 2012, engine 6920 honors the commitment of America’s military veterans. It also symbolizes the Norfolk Southern’s commitment to hiring veterans and members of the National Guard and Reserves, who include more than 4,200 NS employees.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOutshopped in March 2014, engine 6963 commemorates the 10th anniversary of GoRail, a non-profit group that mobilizes support for business and government policies that lead to more freight moving by rail. Engine 911, originally slated to be NS 7003, became the latest commemorative engine this past June in a ceremony at Washington D.C.’s Union Station. Featuring the Maltese Cross of fire services, the Emergency Medical Services’ “Star of Life,” and the Police shield, No. 911 honors the dedication and sacrifices of first responders. In addition, it underscores the railroad’s commitment to its outreach program for hazmat training, which in 2014 reached more than 5,400 emergency first responders in lineside communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntricately Detailed Durable ABS Body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDie-Cast Truck Sides, Pilots and Fuel Tank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal Chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal Handrails and Horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoveable Roof Fans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetachable Snow Plow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(2) Handpainted Engineer Cab Figures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthentic Paint Scheme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal Wheels, Axles and Gears\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(2) Remote Controlled Proto-Couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eO Scale Kadee-Compatible Coupler Mounting Pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrototypical Rule 17 Lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirectionally Controlled Constant voltage LED Headlights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLighted LED Cab Interior Light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIlluminated LED Number Boards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating LED Ditch Lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(2) Precision Flywheel-Equipped Motors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating ProtoSmoke Diesel Exhaust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnboard DCC\/DCS Decoder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocomotive Speed Control In Scale MPH Increments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProto-Scale 3-2 3-Rail\/2-Rail Conversion Capable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1:48 Scale Proportions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProto-Sound 3.0 With The Digital Command System Featuring Freight Yard Proto-Effects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnit Measures: 18 3\/8” x 2 1\/2” x 3 15\/16”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOperates On O-42 Curves\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiesel DCC Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF0 Head\/Tail light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF1 Bell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF2 Horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF3 Start-up\/Shut-down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF4 PFA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF5 Lights (except head\/tail)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF6 Master Volume\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF7 Front Coupler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF8 Rear Coupler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF9 Forward Signal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF10 Reverse Signal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF11 Grade Crossing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF12 Smoke On\/Off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF13 Smoke Volume\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF14 Idle Sequence 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF15 Idle Sequence 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF16 Idle Sequence 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF17 Extended Start-up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF18 Extended Shut-down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF19 Rev Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF20 Rev Down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF21 One Shot Doppler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF22 Coupler Slack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF23 Coupler Close\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF24 Single Horn Blast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF25 Engine Sounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF26 Brake Sounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF27 Cab Chatter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF28 Feature Reset\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e O Scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Line:\u003c\/strong\u003e Premier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Diesel\/Electric Locomotive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoad Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Norfolk Southern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCab\/Car Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7035\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MTH Trains","offers":[{"title":"MTH20219621","offer_id":67765782577322,"sku":"MTH20219621","price":629.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/9324\/1002\/files\/48520219621.jpg?v=1793152499","url":"https:\/\/shop.fastandfuntoyandhobby.com\/products\/o-sd60e-diesel-ns-703530","provider":"Fast and Fun Toy and Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
