EMD SD70M Union Pacific 1616 Abraham Lincoln
N Scale DC Diesel Locomotive
A striking Union Pacific commemorative SD70M honoring Abraham Lincoln, featuring Kato's smooth-running performance and exceptional prototype detail.
Product Overview
The EMD SD70M became one of the defining six-axle freight locomotives of the modern railroad era. Built for heavy mainline service, the SD70M combined the proven performance of EMD's 4,000-horsepower platform with a distinctive wide-nose safety cab and the reliability needed for transcontinental freight operations.
Union Pacific 1616 honors Abraham Lincoln, one of the most influential figures in American history and a key supporter of the transcontinental railroad. Lincoln's signing of the Pacific Railway Act in 1862 helped make the construction of the first transcontinental railroad possible, forever linking his legacy with the growth of rail transportation across the United States.
The locomotive carries a distinctive commemorative paint scheme celebrating Lincoln's contribution to the nation and to American railroading. The result is a locomotive that combines modern freight-hauling capability with an important connection to railroad history.
Kato's all-new SD70M tooling faithfully captures the appearance of these locomotives, including the flat radiator configuration used on Union Pacific examples. With smooth operation, excellent pulling power, and crisp paint application, this model is an outstanding addition to any modern Union Pacific fleet.

Why We Love This Model
We particularly enjoy Union Pacific's commemorative locomotive program because it celebrates the people and events that helped shape both the railroad and the nation. Abraham Lincoln's connection to railroading is especially significant, as his support of the Pacific Railway Act laid the groundwork for the first transcontinental railroad and transformed transportation in the United States.
UP 1616 combines that historical significance with one of Union Pacific's most recognizable modern locomotive platforms. The SD70M remains a favorite among railfans thanks to its distinctive profile, wide cab design, and long service career across the UP system.
Kato's smooth-running mechanism, accurate tooling, and exceptional paint quality make this locomotive a great choice for both operators and collectors. Whether leading a modern freight train or displayed as part of a commemorative locomotive collection, UP 1616 is a model with both visual appeal and historical importance.
