What ever happened to these units? And does anybody know of pictures online that showed the cabs?. The reason i ask is they had extremely rare cabs with the pushed out front windows. I am curious to see how they were inside.

CSX got them in a trade with Locomotive Leasing Partners (LLPX)

CSX traded:
3 SW1001s
30 SW1500s
12 GP15-1s
91 GP38s
17 GP40s

For:
3 GP60s
3 SD60s
25 SD70Ms
some SD70M parts

source: Trains September 2000, vol. 60 #9, p 24

EMD 5, 6, 7 were the GP60s traded. I forget what numbers they are, I think they're in the 6900-series.

In the pictures I've seen, I don't remember anything unusual except for the cab nose having the edges rounded?

The cab fronts strongly resemble GP30's. They have a small "dash" under the peaked windshields with the door to the crapper there. EMD 8-10 (now NS 4606-4608) have the exact same look inside.
