Work Done:
 - Engine upgraded to 16-710G3B-IC w/ EFI and Tier 2 emisions with split cooling (note:  emissions sticker states certified to Tier 0+)
 - EM2000 microprocessor installed, including all new electrical cabinet
 - New widecab installed with a/c, cab signals & LSL, original long hood retained
 - New crashworthy fuel tank installed on early rebuilds
 - Changed from long hood forward to short hood forward where applicable
 - KNORR (CCB2) electronic air brake installed.  Motor-driven air compressor installed initially, but was a failure, and those that got it were converted back to shaft-driven
 - "Layover equipment" and NS-designed (at Juniata) split cooling installed with added intercooler fan
 - 6921-6926 (later 6946-6951) plus 6934 and up equipped with EMDEC Electronic Control Unit (ECU) system, others equipped with Interstate and later changed over to EMDEC
 - 6900-6929 equipped with AR11 main alternator and new CA7 companion alternator
 - 6930 and up equipped with AR11 main alternator and rebuilt CA5 companion alternator
 - Initially the first few SD60Es were rated at 3800 hp, but they and the rest have been upped to 4000 hp
 - Starting summer 2019, some units are having their split cooling intercoolers removed and returned to as-built intakes.  Some dates noted above.

Notes:
 - When the SD60E program originally began, 240 units were planned total through 2019 
 - NS 6593 was to become NS 6902 but the frame was found to be too damaged from the Graniteville wreck
 - Cab design by Norfolk Southern and built by Curry Rail of Hollidaysburg, PA
 - Design weight: 412,000 lbs
 - 100,000 lbs tractive effort
 - Sometime between 5/10 and 10/10, NS 6613 was modified with the addition of an intercooler fan behind
   the dynamic brake like the SD60E
 - A frame check of NS 6905 revealed that 6905/6906 were mixed up at some point, so we swapped their former numbers
 - Seven units (6921-6927) renumbered in 2013 in order to group SD60Es with EMDEC together in one block
 - 7034 and 7035 were re-geared (D87BTR traction motors) for passenger speeds 4/2021 with additional yaw dampers installed (4/2021 and summer 2023) on their trucks to help with
   ride quality.  Cab signal racks and software were upgraded to allow max speed of 90 mph (gear ratio allows 110 mph)
 - 7034 and 7035 were re-geared back to freight service speeds 2/2024.
