Description

This is MTH 80-2269-0 HO Lack SD70ACE DCC Ready. SD70ACe diesel engine (DCC ready), Lackawanna (NS Heritage). Cab number: 1074. The SD70ACe is Electro-Motive Diesel’s hope for the future.also offers, in EMD’s words, outstanding improvements in maintainability. All electrical wires are on the right side of the locomotive and all piping is on the left, with most pipes and wires routed under the frame so they can be serviced by a man standing outside the engine – rather than crawling around at the bottom of the engine room. And the time between service intervals has been doubled, from every three months to every six months.

After a year of testing on the road and at the Association of American Railroads’ test track in Pueblo, CO, the first SD70ACe’s (‘e stands for enhanced) were delivered to CSX Transportation in 2004. Today they are rostered by nearly every North American Class 1 railroad. At the present time, mainline American railroads generally maintain dual fleets of locomotives. AC power is used for heavy coal hauling and hotshot intermodal traffic because AC traction motors offer higher starting tractive effort with the same horsepower. Less expensive, traditional DC power is used for more mundane duties. But with the SD70ACe, Electro-Motive hopes it may have the 21st Century successor to its 1949 Geep – a locomotive that can be nearly all things to all railroads.
