Dear Customers: 

Broadway Limited has supplied the following information regarding this new release, but it is not complete.  BLI has not given us ETA or Drop Dead Order Dates (DODD).   We will update that information when and if we acquire it from Broadway Limited. We apologize for this lack of information but this is something BLI is responsible for, we have placed a Dec 2017  ETA for delivery for these items, but we know this will change. The DDOD has been entered in for Jan 30th 2017, but we also expect this to change. BLI told us all of their new items will arrive over the next 18 months. So as we get information we will update as soon as we can.

The SD70ACe is the successor to the older SD70MAC. 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 SD70ACe’s 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 under frame 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. In 2008, EMD standardized the isolated cab on subsequent SD70ACe’s after non-isolated cab units were restricted from leading on BNSF Railway due to excessive cab vibration.
