Here is one taken at the end of August…here in Vegas…

Thats a nice pic…What kind of train was this unit on? I never see them around here,unless Ive mistaken them for a SD90-4300 and they are mostly trailing units,never on the pt.

7

I see a few per day. they number 8300 and up because 8000 and up is the SD80MACs.

8

You mean the SD90MACs? Just giving you a hard time (they are identical, after all)…[:D]

9

Identical on the outside, that is.[;)]

10

It was part of a very overpowered 15 car freight train, that originated in Utah, terminating here in Vegas. MPVLV was the train symbol.

Here is a SD90Mac…on the point of this coal train, just south of Vegas, a few months ago…the nose is the biggest spotting feature/difference between the SD70Ace

SD9043MACs - these are the ones with the 16-710G3C engine, same 4300HP rating.
