In 1984, the Electro-Motive Division of General Motors introduced the SD60 due to the increasing competition from General Electric and the excessive overhauls demanded by the SD50 series. EMD redesigned and upgraded the basic power plant of the SD50 and incorporated technical innovation into this special-duty locomotive to help regain some of the market share lost to General Electric.

The SD60, powered by a 16-cylindar engine and intended for heavy-duty drag operation, incorporated a number of improvements over the 50 series such as fuel efficiency, additional radiator capacity and two-speed cooling fans. But the most revolutionary improvement was the use of three separate microcomputers. The computer age had finally influenced locomotive design as these microcomputers now controlled engine speed, fuel economy functions and interactive troubleshooting.
