They constructed several SD70ACe demonstrator locos including GM70-73. GM70 was a pre-production unit with a unique carbody, but the others ushered in the final design for the ‘ACe. They were later sold to KCS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eATHEARN EMD SD70ACe DIESEL LOCOMOTIVE PROTOTYPE AND BACKGROUND INFO:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn order to meet stricter diesel locomotive emissions standards imposed by EPATier II regulations, EMD modified the SD70MAC to create the SD70ACe and SD70M-2. Each model is powered by a 16-cylinder, 4300-horsepower diesel engine. On the SD70M-2, the prime mover drives an alternator and producesAC current that is rectified to DC current, which powers the traction motors. On the SD70ACe, the DC current is then “chopped” back into AC to power the traction motors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMuch of the external design is based on the SD90 series locomotives. Similar features include the full height nose door and rectangular windshields, the large flared radiators with two fans, and the positioning of the dynamic brake equipment at the rear of the long hood. In addition, the inverters were moved from inside the long hood to a box on the walkway behind the fireman’s side of the cab.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLEGENDARY LIVERIES\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat are Legendary Liveries?
