Hmmmmm, looks like every other diesel locomotive built since the 1960’s ( a basic steel gym locker with wheels) just who are these designers?? I’m surprised it’s not painted black, hope they keep those colors.
Everybody still feel the same way a year later about these beautiful SD70ACe units?
Compare a nose shot of a UP SD70ACE vs one on BNSF. The wings and UP logo actually make that boxy, bulldog nose look decent.
I saw a few of these in several UP trains while at Rochelle on Friday…pretty cool looking and sounded great after oh so many GE units that day.
Keep in mind that fancy bodywork and sheetmetal curves drive up production expenses at any builder. That being said, an SD70 ACe still looks better than a Toyota Scion or Pontiac Aztek.
I like these locomotives. The UP paint makes em’ look even better.
The SD70M’s are by far the best of EMD!
