Diesellok EMD SD70ACe NS Heritage Penn Central 1073

The SD70ACe is the latest in the line of EMD's "70" locomotives, an evolution of the SD70MAC, although its radiator design harkens more to that of the SD80/90 body. The SD70ACe has been designed to fit the latest EPA standards and regulations, and sports 4300 horsepower.

In 2012, to celebrate its 30th anniversary, Norfolk Southern painted a total of 20 locomotives (10 SD70ACe’s) into commemorative schemes that honoured the railroads that had merged over the years to form modern day NS. The Penn Central was a merging of the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central (with New Haven being joined in late in its lifespan) – and during its short lifespan was influential in laying the groundwork for both Amtrak and Conrail.
