yeah, nothing comes close to the class 60, this locomotive single highhandedly replaced the need for double heading

which at the time was an incredible feat of efficiency, and to this days standards, it still is.

>Nothing comes close.
Shit an SD-45 has the same tractive effort and they were built in the 60s.
>>
>>947094
Yeah well American locomotives are built to be pulling 2 mile long trains, but they are actually inefficient, it's just that that's all you have over there, so theres no choice, when you guys produce the modern day Class 60, then ill be happy

>Actually inefficient
Except they're not. The things you Euros lie about.

Yeah, if you have the abovementioned going for you, it *is* easy to do with 60s tech.
