Built from 2004 to 2014 in the United States, the SD70ACe was originally designed to comply with EPA Tier 2 locomotive emissions regulations. Beginning in 2012, newly built SD70ACes were EPA Tier 3 compliant. SD70ACes are equipped with EMD's 16-710-G3C-T2 prime mover, rated at 4,300 horsepower (3,200 kW). Later Tier 3 models are rated at 4,500 horsepower (3,400 kW). They are rated at 157,000 lbf (700 kN) continuous tractive effort (191,000 lbf (850 kN) starting). Braking effort is rated at 106,000 lbf (470 kN). Although mechanically similar to earlier SD70 units, the SD70ACe rides on a new underframe and uses mostly new sheet metal above the frame. Electrical cables and air lines have been routed beneath the walkways on opposite sides, allowing easier access for maintenance. Continuing the designs of the SD80 and SD90 series, the radiator on the locomotive is nearly as wide as the cab, the center hood section is a step down below the roofline, and the dynamic brakes have been moved to the rear of the hood. The SD70ACe uses the cab design of late-model SD90MAC-H units, which uses rectangular window glass and is externally different from the two cab variations used on earlier SD70M and SD70MAC units.

The SD90MAC struggled to find a place on US and Canadian Railroads in the 90s. While Union Pacific and Canadian Pacific purchased many of these engines – smaller railroads felt alienated from the gigantic prime movers which limited the SD90MAC’s operational use.  In 2016 Norfolk Southern decided to convert several SD90MACs to SD70ACUs, the Siemens tech was swapped with Mitsubishi components and the cab was replaced with the SD70ACe’s cab.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eCanadian Pacific decided to rebuild their collection of SD90MACs as well.

The cab itself was derived from late-model SD90MAC-H units, featuring rectangular window glass and a distinct external appearance compared to earlier SD70M and SD70MAC cabs.

Powered by EMD’s 16-710-G3C-T2 prime mover, the SD70ACe produces 4,300 horsepower, with later Tier 3 versions boosted to 4,500 horsepower.

Its electrical cables and air lines are routed beneath the walkways on opposite sides, improving maintenance access. The design continues trends from the SD80 and SD90 series, including a wide radiator nearly matching the cab’s width, a lowered center hood section, and dynamic brakes relocated to the rear. The cab itself was derived from late-model SD90MAC-H units, featuring rectangular window glass and a distinct external appearance compared to earlier SD70M and SD70MAC cabs. In 2008, EMD standardized the isolated cab design for new SD70ACes after non-isolated versions were restricted from leading BNSF trains due to excessive vibration.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eIn this production run, we’re offering models in eight distinct paint schemes—seven of which are prototypical.

Powered by EMD’s 16-710-G3C-T2 prime mover, the SD70ACe produces 4,300 horsepower, with later Tier 3 versions boosted to 4,500 horsepower.

Its electrical cables and air lines are routed beneath the walkways on opposite sides, improving maintenance access. The design continues trends from the SD80 and SD90 series, including a wide radiator nearly matching the cab’s width, a lowered center hood section, and dynamic brakes relocated to the rear. The cab itself was derived from late-model SD90MAC-H units, featuring rectangular window glass and a distinct external appearance compared to earlier SD70M and SD70MAC cabs. In 2008, EMD standardized the isolated cab design for new SD70ACes after non-isolated versions were restricted from leading BNSF trains due to excessive vibration.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eIn this production run, we’re offering models in eight distinct paint schemes—seven of which are prototypical.

Powered by EMD’s 16-710-G3C-T2 prime mover, the SD70ACe produces 4,300 horsepower, with later Tier 3 versions boosted to 4,500 horsepower.

Its electrical cables and air lines are routed beneath the walkways on opposite sides, improving maintenance access. The design continues trends from the SD80 and SD90 series, including a wide radiator nearly matching the cab’s width, a lowered center hood section, and dynamic brakes relocated to the rear. The cab itself was derived from late-model SD90MAC-H units, featuring rectangular window glass and a distinct external appearance compared to earlier SD70M and SD70MAC cabs. In 2008, EMD standardized the isolated cab design for new SD70ACes after non-isolated versions were restricted from leading BNSF trains due to excessive vibration.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eIn this production run, we’re offering models in eight distinct paint schemes—seven of which are prototypical.

Powered by EMD’s 16-710-G3C-T2 prime mover, the SD70ACe produces 4,300 horsepower, with later Tier 3 versions boosted to 4,500 horsepower.

Its electrical cables and air lines are routed beneath the walkways on opposite sides, improving maintenance access. The design continues trends from the SD80 and SD90 series, including a wide radiator nearly matching the cab’s width, a lowered center hood section, and dynamic brakes relocated to the rear. The cab itself was derived from late-model SD90MAC-H units, featuring rectangular window glass and a distinct external appearance compared to earlier SD70M and SD70MAC cabs. In 2008, EMD standardized the isolated cab design for new SD70ACes after non-isolated versions were restricted from leading BNSF trains due to excessive vibration.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eIn this production run, we’re offering models in eight distinct paint schemes—seven of which are prototypical.

Powered by EMD’s 16-710-G3C-T2 prime mover, the SD70ACe produces 4,300 horsepower, with later Tier 3 versions boosted to 4,500 horsepower.

Its electrical cables and air lines are routed beneath the walkways on opposite sides, improving maintenance access. The design continues trends from the SD80 and SD90 series, including a wide radiator nearly matching the cab’s width, a lowered center hood section, and dynamic brakes relocated to the rear. The cab itself was derived from late-model SD90MAC-H units, featuring rectangular window glass and a distinct external appearance compared to earlier SD70M and SD70MAC cabs. In 2008, EMD standardized the isolated cab design for new SD70ACes after non-isolated versions were restricted from leading BNSF trains due to excessive vibration.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eIn this production run, we’re offering models in eight distinct paint schemes—seven of which are prototypical.

Powered by EMD’s 16-710-G3C-T2 prime mover, the SD70ACe produces 4,300 horsepower, with later Tier 3 versions boosted to 4,500 horsepower.

Its electrical cables and air lines are routed beneath the walkways on opposite sides, improving maintenance access. The design continues trends from the SD80 and SD90 series, including a wide radiator nearly matching the cab’s width, a lowered center hood section, and dynamic brakes relocated to the rear. The cab itself was derived from late-model SD90MAC-H units, featuring rectangular window glass and a distinct external appearance compared to earlier SD70M and SD70MAC cabs. In 2008, EMD standardized the isolated cab design for new SD70ACes after non-isolated versions were restricted from leading BNSF trains due to excessive vibration.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eIn this production run, we’re offering models in eight distinct paint schemes—seven of which are prototypical.

Powered by EMD’s 16-710-G3C-T2 prime mover, the SD70ACe produces 4,300 horsepower, with later Tier 3 versions boosted to 4,500 horsepower.

Its electrical cables and air lines are routed beneath the walkways on opposite sides, improving maintenance access. The design continues trends from the SD80 and SD90 series, including a wide radiator nearly matching the cab’s width, a lowered center hood section, and dynamic brakes relocated to the rear. The cab itself was derived from late-model SD90MAC-H units, featuring rectangular window glass and a distinct external appearance compared to earlier SD70M and SD70MAC cabs. In 2008, EMD standardized the isolated cab design for new SD70ACes after non-isolated versions were restricted from leading BNSF trains due to excessive vibration.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eIn this production run, we’re offering models in eight distinct paint schemes—seven of which are prototypical.

Powered by EMD’s 16-710-G3C-T2 prime mover, the SD70ACe produces 4,300 horsepower, with later Tier 3 versions boosted to 4,500 horsepower.

Its electrical cables and air lines are routed beneath the walkways on opposite sides, improving maintenance access. The design continues trends from the SD80 and SD90 series, including a wide radiator nearly matching the cab’s width, a lowered center hood section, and dynamic brakes relocated to the rear. The cab itself was derived from late-model SD90MAC-H units, featuring rectangular window glass and a distinct external appearance compared to earlier SD70M and SD70MAC cabs. In 2008, EMD standardized the isolated cab design for new SD70ACes after non-isolated versions were restricted from leading BNSF trains due to excessive vibration.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eIn this production run, we’re offering models in eight distinct paint schemes—seven of which are prototypical.

Powered by EMD’s 16-710-G3C-T2 prime mover, the SD70ACe produces 4,300 horsepower, with later Tier 3 versions boosted to 4,500 horsepower.

Its electrical cables and air lines are routed beneath the walkways on opposite sides, improving maintenance access. The design continues trends from the SD80 and SD90 series, including a wide radiator nearly matching the cab’s width, a lowered center hood section, and dynamic brakes relocated to the rear. The cab itself was derived from late-model SD90MAC-H units, featuring rectangular window glass and a distinct external appearance compared to earlier SD70M and SD70MAC cabs. In 2008, EMD standardized the isolated cab design for new SD70ACes after non-isolated versions were restricted from leading BNSF trains due to excessive vibration.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eIn this production run, we’re offering models in eight distinct paint schemes—seven of which are prototypical.

Powered by EMD’s 16-710-G3C-T2 prime mover, the SD70ACe produces 4,300 horsepower, with later Tier 3 versions boosted to 4,500 horsepower.

Its electrical cables and air lines are routed beneath the walkways on opposite sides, improving maintenance access. The design continues trends from the SD80 and SD90 series, including a wide radiator nearly matching the cab’s width, a lowered center hood section, and dynamic brakes relocated to the rear. The cab itself was derived from late-model SD90MAC-H units, featuring rectangular window glass and a distinct external appearance compared to earlier SD70M and SD70MAC cabs. In 2008, EMD standardized the isolated cab design for new SD70ACes after non-isolated versions were restricted from leading BNSF trains due to excessive vibration.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eIn this production run, we’re offering models in eight distinct paint schemes—seven of which are prototypical.

The SD90MAC struggled to find a place on US and Canadian Railroads in the 90s. While Union Pacific and Canadian Pacific purchased many of these engines – smaller railroads felt alienated from the gigantic prime movers which limited the SD90MAC’s operational use.  In 2016 Norfolk Southern decided to convert several SD90MACs to SD70ACUs, the Siemens tech was swapped with Mitsubishi components and the cab was replaced with the SD70ACe’s cab.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eCanadian Pacific decided to rebuild their collection of SD90MACs as well.

It was the first production AC traction freight locomotive in North America, with Burlington Northern receiving its first 9400 series units in late 1993. The key difference with AC traction motors is their higher durability compared to DC traction motors. AC motors do not burn out at low speeds from overheating, though they cost more than DC motors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor some railroads in the 1990s, this was a clear advantage. BN had a booming volume of Powder River unit coal trains moving to powerplants, facing long, tough grades along the way. Colorado’s Joint Line is one, with a 40+ mile 1-1.5% continuous grade. BN was using sets of 5 DC SD40-2s and C30-7s as head end power to get up that grade, and the train had to stay above 10mph or more to prevent burnout on the DC traction motors. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith AC traction motors on SD70MACs, BN only needed three units on the head end, and they could grind away at any speed to conquer the grade. For BN, the cost advantage on this heavy haul traffic was huge, so the SD70MAC orders continued into the BNSF era. Ultimately, BNSF rostered 795 SD70MACs, far more than any other railroad. At present, much of the fleet is in storage, but the remaining active units are an interesting mixture of patched executive schemes and rebuilt SD70MACs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eCSX was the next largest buyer of SD70MACs, as it was also the other primary railroad to adopt AC power in the 1990s. Several modest batches of middle-production units were ordered in the late '90s. After a pause of a few years, CSX then came back for another 75 units in 2003 and 55 more units in 2004. Both orders combined were numbered 4700-4830. All CSX units have always been stencilled as “SD70AC” on CSX, regardless of order group or rebuild status.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese later CSX orders were unlike any SD70MACs that came before, as EMD was now manufacturing to Tier-1 emission standards for the engine and cooling system. That in turn had changed their styling and design on SD70Ms and SD70MACs. All of CSX’s later SD70MACs came with flared rear radiators and a hood that replaced round corners with angled bevels on all edges. Additionally, CSX requested the Eco-Trans Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) to be included, which rearranged the equipment doors and vents in the long hood under the radiators.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eWhile BNSF has many units in storage, CSX has taken a much different approach: a majority of its SD70MAC fleet has been rebuilt, which CSX still calls SD70ACs. These rebuilt units can be found system wide leading all types of trains, including high-priority intermodal trains, defying the perception that SD70MACs are just for hauling coal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eSeveral other railroads have also rebuilt SD70MACs, all in a similar manner. The original Siemens electrical gear is replaced by newer Mitsubishi equipment similar to that found in the SD70ACe line. For some rebuilds, like CSX and KCS, the new equipment requires more height under the dynamic brake grid, so that in turn is raised up and no longer flush with the roof. KCS rebuilds have a complicated history, but several still are in CPKC mainline service in attractive Belle paint. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eFar more KCS units have been much stranger: the Metra SD70MACH. The units are no longer C-C, but B1-1B, as the inward axle facing the fuel tank on each truck no longer has a traction motor. The hood retains the original rounded corners of the KCS cores, but the rear section is Tier-1 style, with flared radiators and squared corners. The walkways have extra protection, and at the front and rear there are stainless steel buffer plates for coupling to passenger car diaphragms. Finally, there is the Metra lighting package: a nose headlight, nose marker lights for pushing, a high LED gyralight, and an emergency beacon on the cab. Metra ordered 15 units from Progress Rail that first arrived in 2022, and has since exercised the options for 42 total units (24 are on the property and in service.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMetra’s SD70MACHs are not the first passenger-capable SD70MACs, though; that title belongs to the Alaska Railroad’s late-model SD70MACs. Alaska Railroad had a fleet of sixteen typical mid-production SD70MACs for freight service, but did not have a good solution for powering its bustling seasonal passenger service. The solution was to take the CSX’s Tier 1 SD70MAC design, which had rearranged the rear of the hood to add an auxiliary power unit, and use that space to add HEP for the first time. The first 8 units arrived in 2004, and an additional 4 arrived in 2007 as the last SD70MACs manufactured. The twelve unit fleet is essential to Alaska Railroad’s operations, because the passenger schedule is dramatically higher than freight in summer, but very low in winter.

It was the first production AC traction freight locomotive in North America, with Burlington Northern receiving its first 9400 series units in late 1993. The key difference with AC traction motors is their higher durability compared to DC traction motors. AC motors do not burn out at low speeds from overheating, though they cost more than DC motors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor some railroads in the 1990s, this was a clear advantage. BN had a booming volume of Powder River unit coal trains moving to powerplants, facing long, tough grades along the way. Colorado’s Joint Line is one, with a 40+ mile 1-1.5% continuous grade. BN was using sets of 5 DC SD40-2s and C30-7s as head end power to get up that grade, and the train had to stay above 10mph or more to prevent burnout on the DC traction motors. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith AC traction motors on SD70MACs, BN only needed three units on the head end, and they could grind away at any speed to conquer the grade. For BN, the cost advantage on this heavy haul traffic was huge, so the SD70MAC orders continued into the BNSF era. Ultimately, BNSF rostered 795 SD70MACs, far more than any other railroad. At present, much of the fleet is in storage, but the remaining active units are an interesting mixture of patched executive schemes and rebuilt SD70MACs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eCSX was the next largest buyer of SD70MACs, as it was also the other primary railroad to adopt AC power in the 1990s. Several modest batches of middle-production units were ordered in the late '90s. After a pause of a few years, CSX then came back for another 75 units in 2003 and 55 more units in 2004. Both orders combined were numbered 4700-4830. All CSX units have always been stencilled as “SD70AC” on CSX, regardless of order group or rebuild status.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese later CSX orders were unlike any SD70MACs that came before, as EMD was now manufacturing to Tier-1 emission standards for the engine and cooling system. That in turn had changed their styling and design on SD70Ms and SD70MACs. All of CSX’s later SD70MACs came with flared rear radiators and a hood that replaced round corners with angled bevels on all edges. Additionally, CSX requested the Eco-Trans Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) to be included, which rearranged the equipment doors and vents in the long hood under the radiators.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eWhile BNSF has many units in storage, CSX has taken a much different approach: a majority of its SD70MAC fleet has been rebuilt, which CSX still calls SD70ACs. These rebuilt units can be found system wide leading all types of trains, including high-priority intermodal trains, defying the perception that SD70MACs are just for hauling coal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eSeveral other railroads have also rebuilt SD70MACs, all in a similar manner. The original Siemens electrical gear is replaced by newer Mitsubishi equipment similar to that found in the SD70ACe line. For some rebuilds, like CSX and KCS, the new equipment requires more height under the dynamic brake grid, so that in turn is raised up and no longer flush with the roof. KCS rebuilds have a complicated history, but several still are in CPKC mainline service in attractive Belle paint. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\" lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eFar more KCS units have been much stranger: the Metra SD70MACH. The units are no longer C-C, but B1-1B, as the inward axle facing the fuel tank on each truck no longer has a traction motor. The hood retains the original rounded corners of the KCS cores, but the rear section is Tier-1 style, with flared radiators and squared corners. The walkways have extra protection, and at the front and rear there are stainless steel buffer plates for coupling to passenger car diaphragms. Finally, there is the Metra lighting package: a nose headlight, nose marker lights for pushing, a high LED gyralight, and an emergency beacon on the cab. Metra ordered 15 units from Progress Rail that first arrived in 2022, and has since exercised the options for 42 total units (24 are on the property and in service.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMetra’s SD70MACHs are not the first passenger-capable SD70MACs, though; that title belongs to the Alaska Railroad’s late-model SD70MACs. Alaska Railroad had a fleet of sixteen typical mid-production SD70MACs for freight service, but did not have a good solution for powering its bustling seasonal passenger service. The solution was to take the CSX’s Tier 1 SD70MAC design, which had rearranged the rear of the hood to add an auxiliary power unit, and use that space to add HEP for the first time. The first 8 units arrived in 2004, and an additional 4 arrived in 2007 as the last SD70MACs manufactured. The twelve unit fleet is essential to Alaska Railroad’s operations, because the passenger schedule is dramatically higher than freight in summer, but very low in winter. Every major passenger train features the SD70MACs as power, but they also freely mix into freight service as needed. This makes them the only true mainline freight and passenger locomotives in North America. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eThe HO

It was the first production AC traction freight locomotive in North America, with Burlington Northern receiving its first 9400 series units in late 1993. The key difference with AC traction motors is their higher durability compared to DC traction motors. AC motors do not burn out at low speeds from overheating, though they cost more than DC motors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor some railroads in the 1990s, this was a clear advantage. BN had a booming volume of Powder River unit coal trains moving to powerplants, facing long, tough grades along the way. Colorado’s Joint Line is one, with a 40+ mile 1-1.5% continuous grade. BN was using sets of 5 DC SD40-2s and C30-7s as head end power to get up that grade, and the train had to stay above 10mph or more to prevent burnout on the DC traction motors. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith AC traction motors on SD70MACs, BN only needed three units on the head end, and they could grind away at any speed to conquer the grade. For BN, the cost advantage on this heavy haul traffic was huge, so the SD70MAC orders continued into the BNSF era. Ultimately, BNSF rostered 795 SD70MACs, far more than any other railroad. At present, much of the fleet is in storage, but the remaining active units are an interesting mixture of patched executive schemes and rebuilt SD70MACs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eCSX was the next largest buyer of SD70MACs, as it was also the other primary railroad to adopt AC power in the 1990s. Several modest batches of middle-production units were ordered in the late '90s. After a pause of a few years, CSX then came back for another 75 units in 2003 and 55 more units in 2004. Both orders combined were numbered 4700-4830. All CSX units have always been stencilled as “SD70AC” on CSX, regardless of order group or rebuild status.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese later CSX orders were unlike any SD70MACs that came before, as EMD was now manufacturing to Tier-1 emission standards for the engine and cooling system. That in turn had changed their styling and design on SD70Ms and SD70MACs. All of CSX’s later SD70MACs came with flared rear radiators and a hood that replaced round corners with angled bevels on all edges. Additionally, CSX requested the Eco-Trans Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) to be included, which rearranged the equipment doors and vents in the long hood under the radiators.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eWhile BNSF has many units in storage, CSX has taken a much different approach: a majority of its SD70MAC fleet has been rebuilt, which CSX still calls SD70ACs. These rebuilt units can be found system wide leading all types of trains, including high-priority intermodal trains, defying the perception that SD70MACs are just for hauling coal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eSeveral other railroads have also rebuilt SD70MACs, all in a similar manner. The original Siemens electrical gear is replaced by newer Mitsubishi equipment similar to that found in the SD70ACe line. For some rebuilds, like CSX and KCS, the new equipment requires more height under the dynamic brake grid, so that in turn is raised up and no longer flush with the roof. KCS rebuilds have a complicated history, but several still are in CPKC mainline service in attractive Belle paint. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eFar more KCS units have been much stranger: the Metra SD70MACH. The units are no longer C-C, but B1-1B, as the inward axle facing the fuel tank on each truck no longer has a traction motor. The hood retains the original rounded corners of the KCS cores, but the rear section is Tier-1 style, with flared radiators and squared corners. The walkways have extra protection, and at the front and rear there are stainless steel buffer plates for coupling to passenger car diaphragms. Finally, there is the Metra lighting package: a nose headlight, nose marker lights for pushing, a high LED gyralight, and an emergency beacon on the cab. Metra ordered 15 units from Progress Rail that first arrived in 2022, and has since exercised the options for 42 total units (24 are on the property and in service.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMetra’s SD70MACHs are not the first passenger-capable SD70MACs, though; that title belongs to the Alaska Railroad’s late-model SD70MACs. Alaska Railroad had a fleet of sixteen typical mid-production SD70MACs for freight service, but did not have a good solution for powering its bustling seasonal passenger service. The solution was to take the CSX’s Tier 1 SD70MAC design, which had rearranged the rear of the hood to add an auxiliary power unit, and use that space to add HEP for the first time. The first 8 units arrived in 2004, and an additional 4 arrived in 2007 as the last SD70MACs manufactured. The twelve unit fleet is essential to Alaska Railroad’s operations, because the passenger schedule is dramatically higher than freight in summer, but very low in winter. Every major passenger train features the SD70MACs as power, but they also freely mix into freight service as needed. This makes them the only true mainline freight and passenger locomotives in North America. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe N Scale SD70MAC Locomotives Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLate-production Tier 1 units for the first time in plastic!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMetra rebuilds, also a first in N scale!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMultiple nose and cab variations (Nose light, high headlight, gyralight)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eRailroad and era appropriate PTC antennas, where applicable\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eWorking headlights, ditchlights, and extra lights.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMetra: features a gyralight, marker light, and emergency light on the nose and cab.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMetra: tons unique rebuild details, including HEP, end buffers, and more\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eCSX: Unique rear of hood housing Eco-Trans Auxiliary Power Unit\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eRoad specific horns and roof detail\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eSeparate grab irons and handrails installed at the factory\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eHeavy, die-cast chassis with a powerful motor and dual flywheels\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMoPower capacitor system for uninterrupted DCC running\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eDC\/DCC ready or Dual-Mode DC\/DCC\/Sound\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eSuggested minimum radius: 11”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Rapido","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48220589490314,"sku":"1111033","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/3954\/7786\/files\/Metra_1.png?v=1775946197"},{"product_id":"rapido-1111032-sd70mach-metra-504-rta-tribute-scheme-dc-silent-n-scale-pre-order","title":"Rapido (1111032) | SD70MACH | Metra #504 | RTA Tribute Scheme | DC\/Silent | N Scale [PRE-ORDER]","description":"\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003eThis is a pre-order item!\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eOn the product page, you must wait until the \"Pre Order Now\" and the \"Partial Payment of $0.00\" appear BEFORE you click \"Pre Order Now\".

It was the first production AC traction freight locomotive in North America, with Burlington Northern receiving its first 9400 series units in late 1993. The key difference with AC traction motors is their higher durability compared to DC traction motors. AC motors do not burn out at low speeds from overheating, though they cost more than DC motors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor some railroads in the 1990s, this was a clear advantage. BN had a booming volume of Powder River unit coal trains moving to powerplants, facing long, tough grades along the way. Colorado’s Joint Line is one, with a 40+ mile 1-1.5% continuous grade. BN was using sets of 5 DC SD40-2s and C30-7s as head end power to get up that grade, and the train had to stay above 10mph or more to prevent burnout on the DC traction motors. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith AC traction motors on SD70MACs, BN only needed three units on the head end, and they could grind away at any speed to conquer the grade. For BN, the cost advantage on this heavy haul traffic was huge, so the SD70MAC orders continued into the BNSF era. Ultimately, BNSF rostered 795 SD70MACs, far more than any other railroad. At present, much of the fleet is in storage, but the remaining active units are an interesting mixture of patched executive schemes and rebuilt SD70MACs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eCSX was the next largest buyer of SD70MACs, as it was also the other primary railroad to adopt AC power in the 1990s. Several modest batches of middle-production units were ordered in the late '90s. After a pause of a few years, CSX then came back for another 75 units in 2003 and 55 more units in 2004. Both orders combined were numbered 4700-4830. All CSX units have always been stencilled as “SD70AC” on CSX, regardless of order group or rebuild status.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese later CSX orders were unlike any SD70MACs that came before, as EMD was now manufacturing to Tier-1 emission standards for the engine and cooling system. That in turn had changed their styling and design on SD70Ms and SD70MACs. All of CSX’s later SD70MACs came with flared rear radiators and a hood that replaced round corners with angled bevels on all edges. Additionally, CSX requested the Eco-Trans Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) to be included, which rearranged the equipment doors and vents in the long hood under the radiators.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eWhile BNSF has many units in storage, CSX has taken a much different approach: a majority of its SD70MAC fleet has been rebuilt, which CSX still calls SD70ACs. These rebuilt units can be found system wide leading all types of trains, including high-priority intermodal trains, defying the perception that SD70MACs are just for hauling coal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eSeveral other railroads have also rebuilt SD70MACs, all in a similar manner. The original Siemens electrical gear is replaced by newer Mitsubishi equipment similar to that found in the SD70ACe line. For some rebuilds, like CSX and KCS, the new equipment requires more height under the dynamic brake grid, so that in turn is raised up and no longer flush with the roof. KCS rebuilds have a complicated history, but several still are in CPKC mainline service in attractive Belle paint. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eFar more KCS units have been much stranger: the Metra SD70MACH. The units are no longer C-C, but B1-1B, as the inward axle facing the fuel tank on each truck no longer has a traction motor. The hood retains the original rounded corners of the KCS cores, but the rear section is Tier-1 style, with flared radiators and squared corners. The walkways have extra protection, and at the front and rear there are stainless steel buffer plates for coupling to passenger car diaphragms. Finally, there is the Metra lighting package: a nose headlight, nose marker lights for pushing, a high LED gyralight, and an emergency beacon on the cab. Metra ordered 15 units from Progress Rail that first arrived in 2022, and has since exercised the options for 42 total units (24 are on the property and in service.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMetra’s SD70MACHs are not the first passenger-capable SD70MACs, though; that title belongs to the Alaska Railroad’s late-model SD70MACs. Alaska Railroad had a fleet of sixteen typical mid-production SD70MACs for freight service, but did not have a good solution for powering its bustling seasonal passenger service. The solution was to take the CSX’s Tier 1 SD70MAC design, which had rearranged the rear of the hood to add an auxiliary power unit, and use that space to add HEP for the first time. The first 8 units arrived in 2004, and an additional 4 arrived in 2007 as the last SD70MACs manufactured. The twelve unit fleet is essential to Alaska Railroad’s operations, because the passenger schedule is dramatically higher than freight in summer, but very low in winter. Every major passenger train features the SD70MACs as power, but they also freely mix into freight service as needed. This makes them the only true mainline freight and passenger locomotives in North America. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe N Scale SD70MAC Locomotives Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLate-production Tier 1 units for the first time in plastic!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMetra rebuilds, also a first in N scale!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMultiple nose and cab variations (Nose light, high headlight, gyralight)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eRailroad and era appropriate PTC antennas, where applicable\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eWorking headlights, ditchlights, and extra lights.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMetra: features a gyralight, marker light, and emergency light on the nose and cab.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMetra: tons unique rebuild details, including HEP, end buffers, and more\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eCSX: Unique rear of hood housing Eco-Trans Auxiliary Power Unit\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eRoad specific horns and roof detail\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eSeparate grab irons and handrails installed at the factory\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eHeavy, die-cast chassis with a powerful motor and dual flywheels\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMoPower capacitor system for uninterrupted DCC running\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eDC\/DCC ready or Dual-Mode DC\/DCC\/Sound\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eSuggested minimum radius: 11”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rapido","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48220591849610,"sku":"1111031","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/3954\/7786\/files\/KC.png?v=1776115242"},{"product_id":"rapido-1111030-sd70mace-rebuild-kansas-city-southern-3948-belle-scheme-dc-silent-n-scale-pre-order","title":"Rapido (1111030) | SD70MACe Rebuild | Kansas City Southern #3948 | Belle Scheme | DC\/Silent | N Scale [PRE-ORDER]","description":"\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003eThis is a pre-order item!\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eOn the product page, you must wait until the \"Pre Order Now\" and the \"Partial Payment of $0.00\" appear BEFORE you click \"Pre Order Now\".

Both orders combined were numbered 4700-4830. All CSX units have always been stencilled as “SD70AC” on CSX, regardless of order group or rebuild status.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese later CSX orders were unlike any SD70MACs that came before, as EMD was now manufacturing to Tier-1 emission standards for the engine and cooling system. That in turn had changed their styling and design on SD70Ms and SD70MACs. All of CSX’s later SD70MACs came with flared rear radiators and a hood that replaced round corners with angled bevels on all edges. Additionally, CSX requested the Eco-Trans Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) to be included, which rearranged the equipment doors and vents in the long hood under the radiators.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eWhile BNSF has many units in storage, CSX has taken a much different approach: a majority of its SD70MAC fleet has been rebuilt, which CSX still calls SD70ACs. These rebuilt units can be found system wide leading all types of trains, including high-priority intermodal trains, defying the perception that SD70MACs are just for hauling coal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eSeveral other railroads have also rebuilt SD70MACs, all in a similar manner. The original Siemens electrical gear is replaced by newer Mitsubishi equipment similar to that found in the SD70ACe line. For some rebuilds, like CSX and KCS, the new equipment requires more height under the dynamic brake grid, so that in turn is raised up and no longer flush with the roof. KCS rebuilds have a complicated history, but several still are in CPKC mainline service in attractive Belle paint. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eFar more KCS units have been much stranger: the Metra SD70MACH. The units are no longer C-C, but B1-1B, as the inward axle facing the fuel tank on each truck no longer has a traction motor. The hood retains the original rounded corners of the KCS cores, but the rear section is Tier-1 style, with flared radiators and squared corners. The walkways have extra protection, and at the front and rear there are stainless steel buffer plates for coupling to passenger car diaphragms. Finally, there is the Metra lighting package: a nose headlight, nose marker lights for pushing, a high LED gyralight, and an emergency beacon on the cab. Metra ordered 15 units from Progress Rail that first arrived in 2022, and has since exercised the options for 42 total units (24 are on the property and in service.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMetra’s SD70MACHs are not the first passenger-capable SD70MACs, though; that title belongs to the Alaska Railroad’s late-model SD70MACs. Alaska Railroad had a fleet of sixteen typical mid-production SD70MACs for freight service, but did not have a good solution for powering its bustling seasonal passenger service. The solution was to take the CSX’s Tier 1 SD70MAC design, which had rearranged the rear of the hood to add an auxiliary power unit, and use that space to add HEP for the first time. The first 8 units arrived in 2004, and an additional 4 arrived in 2007 as the last SD70MACs manufactured. The twelve unit fleet is essential to Alaska Railroad’s operations, because the passenger schedule is dramatically higher than freight in summer, but very low in winter. Every major passenger train features the SD70MACs as power, but they also freely mix into freight service as needed. This makes them the only true mainline freight and passenger locomotives in North America. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe N Scale SD70MAC Locomotives Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLate-production Tier 1 units for the first time in plastic!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMetra rebuilds, also a first in N scale!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMultiple nose and cab variations (Nose light, high headlight, gyralight)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eRailroad and era appropriate PTC antennas, where applicable\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eWorking headlights, ditchlights, and extra lights.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMetra: features a gyralight, marker light, and emergency light on the nose and cab.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMetra: tons unique rebuild details, including HEP, end buffers, and more\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eCSX: Unique rear of hood housing Eco-Trans Auxiliary Power Unit\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eRoad specific horns and roof detail\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eSeparate grab irons and handrails installed at the factory\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eHeavy, die-cast chassis with a powerful motor and dual flywheels\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMoPower capacitor system for uninterrupted DCC running\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eDC\/DCC ready or Dual-Mode DC\/DCC\/Sound\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eSuggested minimum radius: 11”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Rapido","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48220591947914,"sku":"1111030","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/3954\/7786\/files\/KC.png?v=1776115242"},{"product_id":"rapido-1111029-sd70mace-rebuild-kansas-city-southern-3937-belle-scheme-dc-silent-n-scale-pre-order","title":"Rapido (1111029) | SD70MACe Rebuild | Kansas City Southern #3937 | Belle Scheme | DC\/Silent | N Scale [PRE-ORDER]","description":"\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003eThis is a pre-order item!\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eOn the product page, you must wait until the \"Pre Order Now\" and the \"Partial Payment of $0.00\" appear BEFORE you click \"Pre Order Now\".

It was the first production AC traction freight locomotive in North America, with Burlington Northern receiving its first 9400 series units in late 1993. The key difference with AC traction motors is their higher durability compared to DC traction motors. AC motors do not burn out at low speeds from overheating, though they cost more than DC motors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor some railroads in the 1990s, this was a clear advantage. BN had a booming volume of Powder River unit coal trains moving to powerplants, facing long, tough grades along the way. Colorado’s Joint Line is one, with a 40+ mile 1-1.5% continuous grade. BN was using sets of 5 DC SD40-2s and C30-7s as head end power to get up that grade, and the train had to stay above 10mph or more to prevent burnout on the DC traction motors. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith AC traction motors on SD70MACs, BN only needed three units on the head end, and they could grind away at any speed to conquer the grade. For BN, the cost advantage on this heavy haul traffic was huge, so the SD70MAC orders continued into the BNSF era. Ultimately, BNSF rostered 795 SD70MACs, far more than any other railroad. At present, much of the fleet is in storage, but the remaining active units are an interesting mixture of patched executive schemes and rebuilt SD70MACs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eCSX was the next largest buyer of SD70MACs, as it was also the other primary railroad to adopt AC power in the 1990s.

It was the first production AC traction freight locomotive in North America, with Burlington Northern receiving its first 9400 series units in late 1993. The key difference with AC traction motors is their higher durability compared to DC traction motors. AC motors do not burn out at low speeds from overheating, though they cost more than DC motors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor some railroads in the 1990s, this was a clear advantage. BN had a booming volume of Powder River unit coal trains moving to powerplants, facing long, tough grades along the way. Colorado’s Joint Line is one, with a 40+ mile 1-1.5% continuous grade. BN was using sets of 5 DC SD40-2s and C30-7s as head end power to get up that grade, and the train had to stay above 10mph or more to prevent burnout on the DC traction motors. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith AC traction motors on SD70MACs, BN only needed three units on the head end, and they could grind away at any speed to conquer the grade. For BN, the cost advantage on this heavy haul traffic was huge, so the SD70MAC orders continued into the BNSF era. Ultimately, BNSF rostered 795 SD70MACs, far more than any other railroad. At present, much of the fleet is in storage, but the remaining active units are an interesting mixture of patched executive schemes and rebuilt SD70MACs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eCSX was the next largest buyer of SD70MACs, as it was also the other primary railroad to adopt AC power in the 1990s. Several modest batches of middle-production units were ordered in the late '90s. After a pause of a few years, CSX then came back for another 75 units in 2003 and 55 more units in 2004. Both orders combined were numbered 4700-4830. All CSX units have always been stencilled as “SD70AC” on CSX, regardless of order group or rebuild status.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese later CSX orders were unlike any SD70MACs that came before, as EMD was now manufacturing to Tier-1 emission standards for the engine and cooling system. That in turn had changed their styling and design on SD70Ms and SD70MACs. All of CSX’s later SD70MACs came with flared rear radiators and a hood that replaced round corners with angled bevels on all edges. Additionally, CSX requested the Eco-Trans Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) to be included, which rearranged the equipment doors and vents in the long hood under the radiators.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eWhile BNSF has many units in storage, CSX has taken a much different approach: a majority of its SD70MAC fleet has been rebuilt, which CSX still calls SD70ACs. These rebuilt units can be found system wide leading all types of trains, including high-priority intermodal trains, defying the perception that SD70MACs are just for hauling coal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eSeveral other railroads have also rebuilt SD70MACs, all in a similar manner. The original Siemens electrical gear is replaced by newer Mitsubishi equipment similar to that found in the SD70ACe line. For some rebuilds, like CSX and KCS, the new equipment requires more height under the dynamic brake grid, so that in turn is raised up and no longer flush with the roof. KCS rebuilds have a complicated history, but several still are in CPKC mainline service in attractive Belle paint. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eFar more KCS units have been much stranger: the Metra SD70MACH. The units are no longer C-C, but B1-1B, as the inward axle facing the fuel tank on each truck no longer has a traction motor. The hood retains the original rounded corners of the KCS cores, but the rear section is Tier-1 style, with flared radiators and squared corners. The walkways have extra protection, and at the front and rear there are stainless steel buffer plates for coupling to passenger car diaphragms. Finally, there is the Metra lighting package: a nose headlight, nose marker lights for pushing, a high LED gyralight, and an emergency beacon on the cab. Metra ordered 15 units from Progress Rail that first arrived in 2022, and has since exercised the options for 42 total units (24 are on the property and in service.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMetra’s SD70MACHs are not the first passenger-capable SD70MACs, though; that title belongs to the Alaska Railroad’s late-model SD70MACs. Alaska Railroad had a fleet of sixteen typical mid-production SD70MACs for freight service, but did not have a good solution for powering its bustling seasonal passenger service. The solution was to take the CSX’s Tier 1 SD70MAC design, which had rearranged the rear of the hood to add an auxiliary power unit, and use that space to add HEP for the first time. The first 8 units arrived in 2004, and an additional 4 arrived in 2007 as the last SD70MACs manufactured. The twelve unit fleet is essential to Alaska Railroad’s operations, because the passenger schedule is dramatically higher than freight in summer, but very low in winter. Every major passenger train features the SD70MACs as power, but they also freely mix into freight service as needed. This makes them the only true mainline freight and passenger locomotives in North America. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe N Scale SD70MAC Locomotives Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLate-production Tier 1 units for the first time in plastic!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMetra rebuilds, also a first in N scale!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMultiple nose and cab variations (Nose light, high headlight, gyralight)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eRailroad and era appropriate PTC antennas, where applicable\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eWorking headlights, ditchlights, and extra lights.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMetra: features a gyralight, marker light, and emergency light on the nose and cab.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMetra: tons unique rebuild details, including HEP, end buffers, and more\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eCSX: Unique rear of hood housing Eco-Trans Auxiliary Power Unit\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eRoad specific horns and roof detail\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eSeparate grab irons and handrails installed at the factory\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eHeavy, die-cast chassis with a powerful motor and dual flywheels\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMoPower capacitor system for uninterrupted DCC running\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eDC\/DCC ready or Dual-Mode DC\/DCC\/Sound\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eSuggested minimum radius: 11”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rapido","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48220599681162,"sku":"1111027","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/3954\/7786\/files\/CSX_2.png?v=1776115574"},{"product_id":"rapido-1111026-sd70ac-w-flared-rad-csx-4742-yn3c-rebuild-dc-silent-n-scale-pre-order","title":"Rapido (1111026) | SD70AC w\/  Flared Rad | CSX #4742 | YN3c Rebuild | DC\/Silent | N Scale [PRE-ORDER]","description":"\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003eThis is a pre-order item!\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eOn the product page, you must wait until the \"Pre Order Now\" and the \"Partial Payment of $0.00\" appear BEFORE you click \"Pre Order Now\".

All CSX units have always been stencilled as “SD70AC” on CSX, regardless of order group or rebuild status.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese later CSX orders were unlike any SD70MACs that came before, as EMD was now manufacturing to Tier-1 emission standards for the engine and cooling system. That in turn had changed their styling and design on SD70Ms and SD70MACs. All of CSX’s later SD70MACs came with flared rear radiators and a hood that replaced round corners with angled bevels on all edges. Additionally, CSX requested the Eco-Trans Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) to be included, which rearranged the equipment doors and vents in the long hood under the radiators.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eWhile BNSF has many units in storage, CSX has taken a much different approach: a majority of its SD70MAC fleet has been rebuilt, which CSX still calls SD70ACs.

The units are no longer C-C, but B1-1B, as the inward axle facing the fuel tank on each truck no longer has a traction motor. The hood retains the original rounded corners of the KCS cores, but the rear section is Tier-1 style, with flared radiators and squared corners. The walkways have extra protection, and at the front and rear there are stainless steel buffer plates for coupling to passenger car diaphragms. Finally, there is the Metra lighting package: a nose headlight, nose marker lights for pushing, a high LED gyralight, and an emergency beacon on the cab. Metra ordered 15 units from Progress Rail that first arrived in 2022, and has since exercised the options for 42 total units (24 are on the property and in service.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMetra’s SD70MACHs are not the first passenger-capable SD70MACs, though; that title belongs to the Alaska Railroad’s late-model SD70MACs. Alaska Railroad had a fleet of sixteen typical mid-production SD70MACs for freight service, but did not have a good solution for powering its bustling seasonal passenger service. The solution was to take the CSX’s Tier 1 SD70MAC design, which had rearranged the rear of the hood to add an auxiliary power unit, and use that space to add HEP for the first time. The first 8 units arrived in 2004, and an additional 4 arrived in 2007 as the last SD70MACs manufactured. The twelve unit fleet is essential to Alaska Railroad’s operations, because the passenger schedule is dramatically higher than freight in summer, but very low in winter. Every major passenger train features the SD70MACs as power, but they also freely mix into freight service as needed. This makes them the only true mainline freight and passenger locomotives in North America. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe N Scale SD70MAC Locomotives Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLate-production Tier 1 units for the first time in plastic!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMetra rebuilds, also a first in N scale!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMultiple nose and cab variations (Nose light, high headlight, gyralight)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eRailroad and era appropriate PTC antennas, where applicable\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eWorking headlights, ditchlights, and extra lights.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMetra: features a gyralight, marker light, and emergency light on the nose and cab.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMetra: tons unique rebuild details, including HEP, end buffers, and more\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eCSX: Unique rear of hood housing Eco-Trans Auxiliary Power Unit\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eRoad specific horns and roof detail\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eSeparate grab irons and handrails installed at the factory\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eHeavy, die-cast chassis with a powerful motor and dual flywheels\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMoPower capacitor system for uninterrupted DCC running\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eDC\/DCC ready or Dual-Mode DC\/DCC\/Sound\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eSuggested minimum radius: 11”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rapido","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48220600631434,"sku":"1111026","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/3954\/7786\/files\/CSX_3.png?v=1776115787"},{"product_id":"rapido-1111025-sd70ac-w-flared-rad-csx-4725-yn3c-rebuild-dc-silent-n-scale-pre-order","title":"Rapido (1111025) | SD70AC w\/  Flared Rad | CSX #4725 | YN3c Rebuild | DC\/Silent | N Scale [PRE-ORDER]","description":"\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003eThis is a pre-order item!\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eOn the product page, you must wait until the \"Pre Order Now\" and the \"Partial Payment of $0.00\" appear BEFORE you click \"Pre Order Now\".

It was the first production AC traction freight locomotive in North America, with Burlington Northern receiving its first 9400 series units in late 1993. The key difference with AC traction motors is their higher durability compared to DC traction motors. AC motors do not burn out at low speeds from overheating, though they cost more than DC motors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor some railroads in the 1990s, this was a clear advantage. BN had a booming volume of Powder River unit coal trains moving to powerplants, facing long, tough grades along the way. Colorado’s Joint Line is one, with a 40+ mile 1-1.5% continuous grade. BN was using sets of 5 DC SD40-2s and C30-7s as head end power to get up that grade, and the train had to stay above 10mph or more to prevent burnout on the DC traction motors. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith AC traction motors on SD70MACs, BN only needed three units on the head end, and they could grind away at any speed to conquer the grade. For BN, the cost advantage on this heavy haul traffic was huge, so the SD70MAC orders continued into the BNSF era. Ultimately, BNSF rostered 795 SD70MACs, far more than any other railroad. At present, much of the fleet is in storage, but the remaining active units are an interesting mixture of patched executive schemes and rebuilt SD70MACs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eCSX was the next largest buyer of SD70MACs, as it was also the other primary railroad to adopt AC power in the 1990s.

It was the first production AC traction freight locomotive in North America, with Burlington Northern receiving its first 9400 series units in late 1993. The key difference with AC traction motors is their higher durability compared to DC traction motors. AC motors do not burn out at low speeds from overheating, though they cost more than DC motors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor some railroads in the 1990s, this was a clear advantage. BN had a booming volume of Powder River unit coal trains moving to powerplants, facing long, tough grades along the way. Colorado’s Joint Line is one, with a 40+ mile 1-1.5% continuous grade. BN was using sets of 5 DC SD40-2s and C30-7s as head end power to get up that grade, and the train had to stay above 10mph or more to prevent burnout on the DC traction motors. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith AC traction motors on SD70MACs, BN only needed three units on the head end, and they could grind away at any speed to conquer the grade. For BN, the cost advantage on this heavy haul traffic was huge, so the SD70MAC orders continued into the BNSF era. Ultimately, BNSF rostered 795 SD70MACs, far more than any other railroad. At present, much of the fleet is in storage, but the remaining active units are an interesting mixture of patched executive schemes and rebuilt SD70MACs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eCSX was the next largest buyer of SD70MACs, as it was also the other primary railroad to adopt AC power in the 1990s. Several modest batches of middle-production units were ordered in the late '90s. After a pause of a few years, CSX then came back for another 75 units in 2003 and 55 more units in 2004. Both orders combined were numbered 4700-4830. All CSX units have always been stencilled as “SD70AC” on CSX, regardless of order group or rebuild status.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese later CSX orders were unlike any SD70MACs that came before, as EMD was now manufacturing to Tier-1 emission standards for the engine and cooling system. That in turn had changed their styling and design on SD70Ms and SD70MACs. All of CSX’s later SD70MACs came with flared rear radiators and a hood that replaced round corners with angled bevels on all edges. Additionally, CSX requested the Eco-Trans Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) to be included, which rearranged the equipment doors and vents in the long hood under the radiators.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eWhile BNSF has many units in storage, CSX has taken a much different approach: a majority of its SD70MAC fleet has been rebuilt, which CSX still calls SD70ACs. These rebuilt units can be found system wide leading all types of trains, including high-priority intermodal trains, defying the perception that SD70MACs are just for hauling coal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eSeveral other railroads have also rebuilt SD70MACs, all in a similar manner. The original Siemens electrical gear is replaced by newer Mitsubishi equipment similar to that found in the SD70ACe line. For some rebuilds, like CSX and KCS, the new equipment requires more height under the dynamic brake grid, so that in turn is raised up and no longer flush with the roof. KCS rebuilds have a complicated history, but several still are in CPKC mainline service in attractive Belle paint. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eFar more KCS units have been much stranger: the Metra SD70MACH. The units are no longer C-C, but B1-1B, as the inward axle facing the fuel tank on each truck no longer has a traction motor. The hood retains the original rounded corners of the KCS cores, but the rear section is Tier-1 style, with flared radiators and squared corners. The walkways have extra protection, and at the front and rear there are stainless steel buffer plates for coupling to passenger car diaphragms. Finally, there is the Metra lighting package: a nose headlight, nose marker lights for pushing, a high LED gyralight, and an emergency beacon on the cab. Metra ordered 15 units from Progress Rail that first arrived in 2022, and has since exercised the options for 42 total units (24 are on the property and in service.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMetra’s SD70MACHs are not the first passenger-capable SD70MACs, though; that title belongs to the Alaska Railroad’s late-model SD70MACs. Alaska Railroad had a fleet of sixteen typical mid-production SD70MACs for freight service, but did not have a good solution for powering its bustling seasonal passenger service. The solution was to take the CSX’s Tier 1 SD70MAC design, which had rearranged the rear of the hood to add an auxiliary power unit, and use that space to add HEP for the first time. The first 8 units arrived in 2004, and an additional 4 arrived in 2007 as the last SD70MACs manufactured. The twelve unit fleet is essential to Alaska Railroad’s operations, because the passenger schedule is dramatically higher than freight in summer, but very low in winter. Every major passenger train features the SD70MACs as power, but they also freely mix into freight service as needed. This makes them the only true mainline freight and passenger locomotives in North America. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe N Scale SD70MAC Locomotives Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLate-production Tier 1 units for the first time in plastic!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMetra rebuilds, also a first in N scale!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMultiple nose and cab variations (Nose light, high headlight, gyralight)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eRailroad and era appropriate PTC antennas, where applicable\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eWorking headlights, ditchlights, and extra lights.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMetra: features a gyralight, marker light, and emergency light on the nose and cab.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMetra: tons unique rebuild details, including HEP, end buffers, and more\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eCSX: Unique rear of hood housing Eco-Trans Auxiliary Power Unit\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eRoad specific horns and roof detail\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eSeparate grab irons and handrails installed at the factory\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eHeavy, die-cast chassis with a powerful motor and dual flywheels\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMoPower capacitor system for uninterrupted DCC running\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eDC\/DCC ready or Dual-Mode DC\/DCC\/Sound\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eSuggested minimum radius: 11”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rapido","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48220602171530,"sku":"1111024","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/3954\/7786\/files\/CSX_3.png?v=1776115787"},{"product_id":"rapido-1111023-sd70ac-w-flared-rad-csx-4706-yn3c-rebuild-dc-silent-n-scale-pre-order","title":"Rapido (1111023) | SD70AC w\/  Flared Rad | CSX #4706 | YN3c Rebuild | DC\/Silent | N Scale [PRE-ORDER]","description":"\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003eThis is a pre-order item!\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eOn the product page, you must wait until the \"Pre Order Now\" and the \"Partial Payment of $0.00\" appear BEFORE you click \"Pre Order Now\".

Several modest batches of middle-production units were ordered in the late '90s. After a pause of a few years, CSX then came back for another 75 units in 2003 and 55 more units in 2004. Both orders combined were numbered 4700-4830.

That in turn had changed their styling and design on SD70Ms and SD70MACs. All of CSX’s later SD70MACs came with flared rear radiators and a hood that replaced round corners with angled bevels on all edges.

The units are no longer C-C, but B1-1B, as the inward axle facing the fuel tank on each truck no longer has a traction motor. The hood retains the original rounded corners of the KCS cores, but the rear section is Tier-1 style, with flared radiators and squared corners. The walkways have extra protection, and at the front and rear there are stainless steel buffer plates for coupling to passenger car diaphragms. Finally, there is the Metra lighting package: a nose headlight, nose marker lights for pushing, a high LED gyralight, and an emergency beacon on the cab. Metra ordered 15 units from Progress Rail that first arrived in 2022, and has since exercised the options for 42 total units (24 are on the property and in service.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMetra’s SD70MACHs are not the first passenger-capable SD70MACs, though; that title belongs to the Alaska Railroad’s late-model SD70MACs. Alaska Railroad had a fleet of sixteen typical mid-production SD70MACs for freight service, but did not have a good solution for powering its bustling seasonal passenger service. The solution was to take the CSX’s Tier 1 SD70MAC design, which had rearranged the rear of the hood to add an auxiliary power unit, and use that space to add HEP for the first time. The first 8 units arrived in 2004, and an additional 4 arrived in 2007 as the last SD70MACs manufactured. The twelve unit fleet is essential to Alaska Railroad’s operations, because the passenger schedule is dramatically higher than freight in summer, but very low in winter. Every major passenger train features the SD70MACs as power, but they also freely mix into freight service as needed. This makes them the only true mainline freight and passenger locomotives in North America. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe N Scale SD70MAC Locomotives Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLate-production Tier 1 units for the first time in plastic!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMetra rebuilds, also a first in N scale!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMultiple nose and cab variations (Nose light, high headlight, gyralight)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eRailroad and era appropriate PTC antennas, where applicable\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eWorking headlights, ditchlights, and extra lights.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMetra: features a gyralight, marker light, and emergency light on the nose and cab.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMetra: tons unique rebuild details, including HEP, end buffers, and more\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eCSX: Unique rear of hood housing Eco-Trans Auxiliary Power Unit\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eRoad specific horns and roof detail\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eSeparate grab irons and handrails installed at the factory\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eHeavy, die-cast chassis with a powerful motor and dual flywheels\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMoPower capacitor system for uninterrupted DCC running\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eDC\/DCC ready or Dual-Mode DC\/DCC\/Sound\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eSuggested minimum radius: 11”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rapido","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48220602269834,"sku":"1111023","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/3954\/7786\/files\/CSX_3.png?v=1776115787"},{"product_id":"rapido-1111022-sd70ac-w-flared-rad-csx-4810-yn3c-rebuild-dc-silent-n-scale-pre-order","title":"Rapido (1111022) | SD70AC w\/  Flared Rad | CSX #4810 | YN3c Rebuild | DC\/Silent | N Scale [PRE-ORDER]","description":"\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003eThis is a pre-order item!\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eOn the product page, you must wait until the \"Pre Order Now\" and the \"Partial Payment of $0.00\" appear BEFORE you click \"Pre Order Now\".

It was the first production AC traction freight locomotive in North America, with Burlington Northern receiving its first 9400 series units in late 1993.

BN had a booming volume of Powder River unit coal trains moving to powerplants, facing long, tough grades along the way. Colorado’s Joint Line is one, with a 40+ mile 1-1.5% continuous grade. BN was using sets of 5 DC SD40-2s and C30-7s as head end power to get up that grade, and the train had to stay above 10mph or more to prevent burnout on the DC traction motors. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith AC traction motors on SD70MACs, BN only needed three units on the head end, and they could grind away at any speed to conquer the grade.

It was the first production AC traction freight locomotive in North America, with Burlington Northern receiving its first 9400 series units in late 1993. The key difference with AC traction motors is their higher durability compared to DC traction motors. AC motors do not burn out at low speeds from overheating, though they cost more than DC motors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor some railroads in the 1990s, this was a clear advantage. BN had a booming volume of Powder River unit coal trains moving to powerplants, facing long, tough grades along the way. Colorado’s Joint Line is one, with a 40+ mile 1-1.5% continuous grade. BN was using sets of 5 DC SD40-2s and C30-7s as head end power to get up that grade, and the train had to stay above 10mph or more to prevent burnout on the DC traction motors. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith AC traction motors on SD70MACs, BN only needed three units on the head end, and they could grind away at any speed to conquer the grade. For BN, the cost advantage on this heavy haul traffic was huge, so the SD70MAC orders continued into the BNSF era. Ultimately, BNSF rostered 795 SD70MACs, far more than any other railroad. At present, much of the fleet is in storage, but the remaining active units are an interesting mixture of patched executive schemes and rebuilt SD70MACs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eCSX was the next largest buyer of SD70MACs, as it was also the other primary railroad to adopt AC power in the 1990s. Several modest batches of middle-production units were ordered in the late '90s. After a pause of a few years, CSX then came back for another 75 units in 2003 and 55 more units in 2004. Both orders combined were numbered 4700-4830. All CSX units have always been stencilled as “SD70AC” on CSX, regardless of order group or rebuild status.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese later CSX orders were unlike any SD70MACs that came before, as EMD was now manufacturing to Tier-1 emission standards for the engine and cooling system. That in turn had changed their styling and design on SD70Ms and SD70MACs. All of CSX’s later SD70MACs came with flared rear radiators and a hood that replaced round corners with angled bevels on all edges. Additionally, CSX requested the Eco-Trans Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) to be included, which rearranged the equipment doors and vents in the long hood under the radiators.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eWhile BNSF has many units in storage, CSX has taken a much different approach: a majority of its SD70MAC fleet has been rebuilt, which CSX still calls SD70ACs. These rebuilt units can be found system wide leading all types of trains, including high-priority intermodal trains, defying the perception that SD70MACs are just for hauling coal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eSeveral other railroads have also rebuilt SD70MACs, all in a similar manner. The original Siemens electrical gear is replaced by newer Mitsubishi equipment similar to that found in the SD70ACe line. For some rebuilds, like CSX and KCS, the new equipment requires more height under the dynamic brake grid, so that in turn is raised up and no longer flush with the roof. KCS rebuilds have a complicated history, but several still are in CPKC mainline service in attractive Belle paint. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eFar more KCS units have been much stranger: the Metra SD70MACH. The units are no longer C-C, but B1-1B, as the inward axle facing the fuel tank on each truck no longer has a traction motor. The hood retains the original rounded corners of the KCS cores, but the rear section is Tier-1 style, with flared radiators and squared corners. The walkways have extra protection, and at the front and rear there are stainless steel buffer plates for coupling to passenger car diaphragms. Finally, there is the Metra lighting package: a nose headlight, nose marker lights for pushing, a high LED gyralight, and an emergency beacon on the cab. Metra ordered 15 units from Progress Rail that first arrived in 2022, and has since exercised the options for 42 total units (24 are on the property and in service.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMetra’s SD70MACHs are not the first passenger-capable SD70MACs, though; that title belongs to the Alaska Railroad’s late-model SD70MACs. Alaska Railroad had a fleet of sixteen typical mid-production SD70MACs for freight service, but did not have a good solution for powering its bustling seasonal passenger service. The solution was to take the CSX’s Tier 1 SD70MAC design, which had rearranged the rear of the hood to add an auxiliary power unit, and use that space to add HEP for the first time. The first 8 units arrived in 2004, and an additional 4 arrived in 2007 as the last SD70MACs manufactured. The twelve unit fleet is essential to Alaska Railroad’s operations, because the passenger schedule is dramatically higher than freight in summer, but very low in winter. Every major passenger train features the SD70MACs as power, but they also freely mix into freight service as needed. This makes them the only true mainline freight and passenger locomotives in North America. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe N Scale SD70MAC Locomotives Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLate-production Tier 1 units for the first time in plastic!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMetra rebuilds, also a first in N scale!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMultiple nose and cab variations (Nose light, high headlight, gyralight)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eRailroad and era appropriate PTC antennas, where applicable\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eWorking headlights, ditchlights, and extra lights.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMetra: features a gyralight, marker light, and emergency light on the nose and cab.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMetra: tons unique rebuild details, including HEP, end buffers, and more\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eCSX: Unique rear of hood housing Eco-Trans Auxiliary Power Unit\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eRoad specific horns and roof detail\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eSeparate grab irons and handrails installed at the factory\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eHeavy, die-cast chassis with a powerful motor and dual flywheels\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMoPower capacitor system for uninterrupted DCC running\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eDC\/DCC ready or Dual-Mode DC\/DCC\/Sound\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eSuggested minimum radius: 11”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rapido","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48220602335370,"sku":"1111021","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/3954\/7786\/files\/CSX_3.png?v=1776115787"},{"product_id":"rapido-1111020-sd70ac-w-flared-rad-csx-4713-yn3c-rebuild-dc-silent-n-scale-pre-order","title":"Rapido (1111020) | SD70AC w\/  Flared Rad | CSX #4713 | YN3c Rebuild | DC\/Silent | N Scale [PRE-ORDER]","description":"\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003eThis is a pre-order item!\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eOn the product page, you must wait until the \"Pre Order Now\" and the \"Partial Payment of $0.00\" appear BEFORE you click \"Pre Order Now\".

At present, much of the fleet is in storage, but the remaining active units are an interesting mixture of patched executive schemes and rebuilt SD70MACs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eCSX was the next largest buyer of SD70MACs, as it was also the other primary railroad to adopt AC power in the 1990s. Several modest batches of middle-production units were ordered in the late '90s. After a pause of a few years, CSX then came back for another 75 units in 2003 and 55 more units in 2004. Both orders combined were numbered 4700-4830. All CSX units have always been stencilled as “SD70AC” on CSX, regardless of order group or rebuild status.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese later CSX orders were unlike any SD70MACs that came before, as EMD was now manufacturing to Tier-1 emission standards for the engine and cooling system. That in turn had changed their styling and design on SD70Ms and SD70MACs. All of CSX’s later SD70MACs came with flared rear radiators and a hood that replaced round corners with angled bevels on all edges. Additionally, CSX requested the Eco-Trans Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) to be included, which rearranged the equipment doors and vents in the long hood under the radiators.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eWhile BNSF has many units in storage, CSX has taken a much different approach: a majority of its SD70MAC fleet has been rebuilt, which CSX still calls SD70ACs. These rebuilt units can be found system wide leading all types of trains, including high-priority intermodal trains, defying the perception that SD70MACs are just for hauling coal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eSeveral other railroads have also rebuilt SD70MACs, all in a similar manner. The original Siemens electrical gear is replaced by newer Mitsubishi equipment similar to that found in the SD70ACe line. For some rebuilds, like CSX and KCS, the new equipment requires more height under the dynamic brake grid, so that in turn is raised up and no longer flush with the roof. KCS rebuilds have a complicated history, but several still are in CPKC mainline service in attractive Belle paint. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eFar more KCS units have been much stranger: the Metra SD70MACH. The units are no longer C-C, but B1-1B, as the inward axle facing the fuel tank on each truck no longer has a traction motor. The hood retains the original rounded corners of the KCS cores, but the rear section is Tier-1 style, with flared radiators and squared corners. The walkways have extra protection, and at the front and rear there are stainless steel buffer plates for coupling to passenger car diaphragms. Finally, there is the Metra lighting package: a nose headlight, nose marker lights for pushing, a high LED gyralight, and an emergency beacon on the cab. Metra ordered 15 units from Progress Rail that first arrived in 2022, and has since exercised the options for 42 total units (24 are on the property and in service.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMetra’s SD70MACHs are not the first passenger-capable SD70MACs, though; that title belongs to the Alaska Railroad’s late-model SD70MACs. Alaska Railroad had a fleet of sixteen typical mid-production SD70MACs for freight service, but did not have a good solution for powering its bustling seasonal passenger service. The solution was to take the CSX’s Tier 1 SD70MAC design, which had rearranged the rear of the hood to add an auxiliary power unit, and use that space to add HEP for the first time. The first 8 units arrived in 2004, and an additional 4 arrived in 2007 as the last SD70MACs manufactured. The twelve unit fleet is essential to Alaska Railroad’s operations, because the passenger schedule is dramatically higher than freight in summer, but very low in winter. Every major passenger train features the SD70MACs as power, but they also freely mix into freight service as needed. This makes them the only true mainline freight and passenger locomotives in North America. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe N Scale SD70MAC Locomotives Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLate-production Tier 1 units for the first time in plastic!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMetra rebuilds, also a first in N scale!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMultiple nose and cab variations (Nose light, high headlight, gyralight)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eRailroad and era appropriate PTC antennas, where applicable\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eWorking headlights, ditchlights, and extra lights.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMetra: features a gyralight, marker light, and emergency light on the nose and cab.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMetra: tons unique rebuild details, including HEP, end buffers, and more\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eCSX: Unique rear of hood housing Eco-Trans Auxiliary Power Unit\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eRoad specific horns and roof detail\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eSeparate grab irons and handrails installed at the factory\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eHeavy, die-cast chassis with a powerful motor and dual flywheels\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMoPower capacitor system for uninterrupted DCC running\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eDC\/DCC ready or Dual-Mode DC\/DCC\/Sound\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eSuggested minimum radius: 11”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rapido","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48220602466442,"sku":"1111020","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/3954\/7786\/files\/CSX_3.png?v=1776115787"},{"product_id":"rapido-1111019-sd70ac-w-flared-rad-csx-4701-yn3c-rebuild-dc-silent-n-scale-pre-order","title":"Rapido (1111019) | SD70AC w\/  Flared Rad | CSX #4701 | YN3c Rebuild | DC\/Silent | N Scale [PRE-ORDER]","description":"\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003eThis is a pre-order item!\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eOn the product page, you must wait until the \"Pre Order Now\" and the \"Partial Payment of $0.00\" appear BEFORE you click \"Pre Order Now\".

It was the first production AC traction freight locomotive in North America, with Burlington Northern receiving its first 9400 series units in late 1993. The key difference with AC traction motors is their higher durability compared to DC traction motors. AC motors do not burn out at low speeds from overheating, though they cost more than DC motors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor some railroads in the 1990s, this was a clear advantage. BN had a booming volume of Powder River unit coal trains moving to powerplants, facing long, tough grades along the way. Colorado’s Joint Line is one, with a 40+ mile 1-1.5% continuous grade. BN was using sets of 5 DC SD40-2s and C30-7s as head end power to get up that grade, and the train had to stay above 10mph or more to prevent burnout on the DC traction motors. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith AC traction motors on SD70MACs, BN only needed three units on the head end, and they could grind away at any speed to conquer the grade. For BN, the cost advantage on this heavy haul traffic was huge, so the SD70MAC orders continued into the BNSF era. Ultimately, BNSF rostered 795 SD70MACs, far more than any other railroad. At present, much of the fleet is in storage, but the remaining active units are an interesting mixture of patched executive schemes and rebuilt SD70MACs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eCSX was the next largest buyer of SD70MACs, as it was also the other primary railroad to adopt AC power in the 1990s. Several modest batches of middle-production units were ordered in the late '90s. After a pause of a few years, CSX then came back for another 75 units in 2003 and 55 more units in 2004. Both orders combined were numbered 4700-4830. All CSX units have always been stencilled as “SD70AC” on CSX, regardless of order group or rebuild status.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese later CSX orders were unlike any SD70MACs that came before, as EMD was now manufacturing to Tier-1 emission standards for the engine and cooling system. That in turn had changed their styling and design on SD70Ms and SD70MACs. All of CSX’s later SD70MACs came with flared rear radiators and a hood that replaced round corners with angled bevels on all edges. Additionally, CSX requested the Eco-Trans Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) to be included, which rearranged the equipment doors and vents in the long hood under the radiators.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eWhile BNSF has many units in storage, CSX has taken a much different approach: a majority of its SD70MAC fleet has been rebuilt, which CSX still calls SD70ACs. These rebuilt units can be found system wide leading all types of trains, including high-priority intermodal trains, defying the perception that SD70MACs are just for hauling coal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eSeveral other railroads have also rebuilt SD70MACs, all in a similar manner. The original Siemens electrical gear is replaced by newer Mitsubishi equipment similar to that found in the SD70ACe line. For some rebuilds, like CSX and KCS, the new equipment requires more height under the dynamic brake grid, so that in turn is raised up and no longer flush with the roof. KCS rebuilds have a complicated history, but several still are in CPKC mainline service in attractive Belle paint. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eFar more KCS units have been much stranger: the Metra SD70MACH. The units are no longer C-C, but B1-1B, as the inward axle facing the fuel tank on each truck no longer has a traction motor. The hood retains the original rounded corners of the KCS cores, but the rear section is Tier-1 style, with flared radiators and squared corners. The walkways have extra protection, and at the front and rear there are stainless steel buffer plates for coupling to passenger car diaphragms. Finally, there is the Metra lighting package: a nose headlight, nose marker lights for pushing, a high LED gyralight, and an emergency beacon on the cab. Metra ordered 15 units from Progress Rail that first arrived in 2022, and has since exercised the options for 42 total units (24 are on the property and in service.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMetra’s SD70MACHs are not the first passenger-capable SD70MACs, though; that title belongs to the Alaska Railroad’s late-model SD70MACs. Alaska Railroad had a fleet of sixteen typical mid-production SD70MACs for freight service, but did not have a good solution for powering its bustling seasonal passenger service. The solution was to take the CSX’s Tier 1 SD70MAC design, which had rearranged the rear of the hood to add an auxiliary power unit, and use that space to add HEP for the first time. The first 8 units arrived in 2004, and an additional 4 arrived in 2007 as the last SD70MACs manufactured. The twelve unit fleet is essential to Alaska Railroad’s operations, because the passenger schedule is dramatically higher than freight in summer, but very low in winter. Every major passenger train features the SD70MACs as power, but they also freely mix into freight service as needed. This makes them the only true mainline freight and passenger locomotives in North America. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe N Scale SD70MAC Locomotives Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLate-production Tier 1 units for the first time in plastic!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMetra rebuilds, also a first in N scale!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMultiple nose and cab variations (Nose light, high headlight, gyralight)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eRailroad and era appropriate PTC antennas, where applicable\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eWorking headlights, ditchlights, and extra lights.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMetra: features a gyralight, marker light, and emergency light on the nose and cab.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMetra: tons unique rebuild details, including HEP, end buffers, and more\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eCSX: Unique rear of hood housing Eco-Trans Auxiliary Power Unit\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eRoad specific horns and roof detail\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eSeparate grab irons and handrails installed at the factory\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eHeavy, die-cast chassis with a powerful motor and dual flywheels\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMoPower capacitor system for uninterrupted DCC running\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eDC\/DCC ready or Dual-Mode DC\/DCC\/Sound\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eSuggested minimum radius: 11”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rapido","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48220622815370,"sku":"1111018","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/3954\/7786\/files\/CO.png?v=1776119000"},{"product_id":"rapido-1111017-sd70mac-colorado-pacific-railroad-209-dc-silent-n-scale-pre-order","title":"Rapido (1111017) | SD70MAC | Colorado Pacific Railroad #209 | DC\/Silent | N Scale [PRE-ORDER]","description":"\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003eThis is a pre-order item!\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eOn the product page, you must wait until the \"Pre Order Now\" and the \"Partial Payment of $0.00\" appear BEFORE you click \"Pre Order Now\".

Several modest batches of middle-production units were ordered in the late '90s. After a pause of a few years, CSX then came back for another 75 units in 2003 and 55 more units in 2004. Both orders combined were numbered 4700-4830. All CSX units have always been stencilled as “SD70AC” on CSX, regardless of order group or rebuild status.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese later CSX orders were unlike any SD70MACs that came before, as EMD was now manufacturing to Tier-1 emission standards for the engine and cooling system. That in turn had changed their styling and design on SD70Ms and SD70MACs. All of CSX’s later SD70MACs came with flared rear radiators and a hood that replaced round corners with angled bevels on all edges. Additionally, CSX requested the Eco-Trans Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) to be included, which rearranged the equipment doors and vents in the long hood under the radiators.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eWhile BNSF has many units in storage, CSX has taken a much different approach: a majority of its SD70MAC fleet has been rebuilt, which CSX still calls SD70ACs.

The original Siemens electrical gear is replaced by newer Mitsubishi equipment similar to that found in the SD70ACe line. For some rebuilds, like CSX and KCS, the new equipment requires more height under the dynamic brake grid, so that in turn is raised up and no longer flush with the roof. KCS rebuilds have a complicated history, but several still are in CPKC mainline service in attractive Belle paint. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eFar more KCS units have been much stranger: the Metra SD70MACH. The units are no longer C-C, but B1-1B, as the inward axle facing the fuel tank on each truck no longer has a traction motor. The hood retains the original rounded corners of the KCS cores, but the rear section is Tier-1 style, with flared radiators and squared corners. The walkways have extra protection, and at the front and rear there are stainless steel buffer plates for coupling to passenger car diaphragms. Finally, there is the Metra lighting package: a nose headlight, nose marker lights for pushing, a high LED gyralight, and an emergency beacon on the cab. Metra ordered 15 units from Progress Rail that first arrived in 2022, and has since exercised the options for 42 total units (24 are on the property and in service.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMetra’s SD70MACHs are not the first passenger-capable SD70MACs, though; that title belongs to the Alaska Railroad’s late-model SD70MACs. Alaska Railroad had a fleet of sixteen typical mid-production SD70MACs for freight service, but did not have a good solution for powering its bustling seasonal passenger service. The solution was to take the CSX’s Tier 1 SD70MAC design, which had rearranged the rear of the hood to add an auxiliary power unit, and use that space to add HEP for the first time. The first 8 units arrived in 2004, and an additional 4 arrived in 2007 as the last SD70MACs manufactured. The twelve unit fleet is essential to Alaska Railroad’s operations, because the passenger schedule is dramatically higher than freight in summer, but very low in winter. Every major passenger train features the SD70MACs as power, but they also freely mix into freight service as needed. This makes them the only true mainline freight and passenger locomotives in North America. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe N Scale SD70MAC Locomotives Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLate-production Tier 1 units for the first time in plastic!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMetra rebuilds, also a first in N scale!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMultiple nose and cab variations (Nose light, high headlight, gyralight)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eRailroad and era appropriate PTC antennas, where applicable\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eWorking headlights, ditchlights, and extra lights.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMetra: features a gyralight, marker light, and emergency light on the nose and cab.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMetra: tons unique rebuild details, including HEP, end buffers, and more\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eCSX: Unique rear of hood housing Eco-Trans Auxiliary Power Unit\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eRoad specific horns and roof detail\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eSeparate grab irons and handrails installed at the factory\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eHeavy, die-cast chassis with a powerful motor and dual flywheels\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eMoPower capacitor system for uninterrupted DCC running\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eDC\/DCC ready or Dual-Mode DC\/DCC\/Sound\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eSuggested minimum radius: 11”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rapido","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48220622880906,"sku":"1111017","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/3954\/7786\/files\/CO.png?v=1776119000"},{"product_id":"rapido-1111016-sd70mace-rebuild-bnsf-9725-h3-swoosh-logo-dc-silent-n-scale-pre-order","title":"Rapido (1111016) | SD70MACe Rebuild | BNSF #9725 | H3 Swoosh Logo | DC\/Silent | N Scale [PRE-ORDER]","description":"\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003eThis is a pre-order item!\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eOn the product page, you must wait until the \"Pre Order Now\" and the \"Partial Payment of $0.00\" appear BEFORE you click \"Pre Order Now\".

It was the first production AC traction freight locomotive in North America, with Burlington Northern receiving its first 9400 series units in late 1993. The key difference with AC traction motors is their higher durability compared to DC traction motors. AC motors do not burn out at low speeds from overheating, though they cost more than DC motors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor some railroads in the 1990s, this was a clear advantage. BN had a booming volume of Powder River unit coal trains moving to powerplants, facing long, tough grades along the way. Colorado’s Joint Line is one, with a 40+ mile 1-1.5% continuous grade. BN was using sets of 5 DC SD40-2s and C30-7s as head end power to get up that grade, and the train had to stay above 10mph or more to prevent burnout on the DC traction motors. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith AC traction motors on SD70MACs, BN only needed three units on the head end, and they could grind away at any speed to conquer the grade.
