I remember seeing the 1960 along with other GP-9s at South Sioux City. In 
the early 70's 2 GP-9 were used to haul trains back and forth over the Former 
C&NW bridge. These GP-9s were referred to as the "Pingers" by the Q crews 
(because of their back and forth trips to and from the GN yards in Sioux 
City, IA. Northbound trains would stop the former Q yards in S. Sioux City 
and exchange the larger motors (usually SD, late model GP or u-boats) for 
lighter weight power for the trip over to Sioux City, IA
