176-8405 D&RGW/UP SD70ACE #1989

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. These are very popular locomotives both for Union Pacific and the rail fans and may be seen all over the United States. Each of these heritage units has its own special very colorful paint scheme. The number on the locomotive denotes the year of the merger of that road into the UP.
