In the mid-1990s, the race for high horsepower locomotives was on. Electro-Motive Division was busy designing the SD70MAC, which combined 4,000hp (later models produced 4,300hp) from a 16-cylinder 710 prime mover and AC traction — a must for high horsepower, six axle locomotives at the time. Burlington Northern became the largest customer, extending well into the formation of the BNSF Railway with over 780 units. CSX rostered 220 versions, with 130 of those featuring the unique flared radiators. TFM would order 75 units, which eventually were rebranded under the KCS/KCSM umbrella. Alaska Railroad ordered 32, of which 12 are rated at 4,300hp and include head end power (HEP) which makes them true modern freight/passenger locomotives!
By the mid-2010s, many of these roads were looking into rebuild programs to bring them into Tier-1 emissions compliance. At the same time, many of these locomotives were also sold off to second hand owners. Perhaps the most unusual and groundbreaking second life for the SD70MACs was Metra’s design to rebuild 42 of these with HEP, microprocessors, Tier-1 emissions and higher-speed gearing for 80MPH operations. In the commuter operations universe, six axle power had not ben seen in daily service since the early-2000s with the F40C! We’re excited to offer ALL of these variations on this initial run of SD70MACs
