Known for its black locomotives featuring the iconic white horse logo, Norfolk Southern operates an extensive rail network serving major ports, industrial centers, and manufacturing regions across the country.

The railroad is famous for hauling massive coal trains from the Appalachian coal fields of Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania to power plants, steel mills, and export terminals. Heavy coal drags winding through mountain territory became one of the defining images of Norfolk Southern operations and remain extremely popular among railfans and model railroaders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"990\" data-end=\"1617\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eThe EMD SD70 series became an important part of Norfolk Southern’s modern locomotive fleet during the 1990s and 2000s. Designed for heavy mainline freight service, SD70 locomotives provided the horsepower and reliability needed for demanding intermodal, manifest, and coal train operations. Norfolk Southern operated several versions of the SD70, including SD70M and SD70ACe locomotives, which became common sights leading long freight trains across the railroad’s vast system. Their combination of modern performance and heavy-haul capability made them especially valuable in coal service throughout the eastern United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"border: 0; border-top: 1px solid #d9d9d9; margin: 22px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size: 23px; color: #111827; margin: 0 0 12px;\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne time run of these roadnumbers, order now - limited quantity available!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrect North American Safety Cab per prototype\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlush radiators per early production units\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrect HTCR-1a or HTCR-1b trucks per prototype\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass Nathan K5 air horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTreadplate detail on walkways\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum radius 18\" (22\" or larger recommended)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully assembled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLED Lighting includes:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh or low headlight per prototype\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved, working front ditch lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstant and directional lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable with ESU Sound \u0026amp; DCC for DCC or DC powered layouts with:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour air horns changeable by CVs:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eK5LAR24\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eP5R24\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eK3LA2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eK3L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Bells changeable by CVs:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGraham E-bell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel Bell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e21-Pin DCC plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSame powerful drive as WalthersProto(R) locos featuring:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-pole skew-wound motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14:1 gear ratio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelical-cut gears for quiet operation and easy multiple unit operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-wheel drive and electrical pickup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual machined brass flywheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy die cast metal chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCab interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5000-gallon fuel tank w\/road specific details\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard bell on conductor's side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMolded drill starter points for grab irons - easily added with SD70-Series Diesel Detail Kit (910-261, sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrect size RP-25 metal wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProto MAX(TM) magnetic metal knuckle couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePLEASE NOTE: When operating Walthers-branded DCC-equipped locomotives in DC mode, do not use power packs that exceed an 18V rating.
