Album Info:Having moved out of the Northeast three years ago, the shoe is now on the other foot. NS and CSX are hardly encountered much anymore. This came by the house today, and I took note of its lack of flared radiators. Do I chase? Do I pass? Ehhh. It's 100 degrees out.. I only have a quarter of a tank.. I'm getting lazy in my old age.. The image reflect my ultimate decision. NS 1842 [SD70ACC] The SD70ACC is the latest rebuild in Norfolk's Southern's DC to AC program. It has the new EMD safety cab, similar to the SD70ACe cab, but with the “teardrop windshield”, much like the SD70ACe-T4. The SD70ACC has been rebuilt with AC traction motors, an AAR-style control stand, an electrical cabinet with Mitsubishi electronics, a new main alternator, and additional weight to increase the maximum weight to 432,000 pounds. The SD70ACC is rated at 4,500 horsepower (3,355.649 kilowatts), has a fuel capacity of 4,900 gallons, and has dynamic braking, cab signals, and LSL (Locomotive Speed Limiter). Norfolk Southern is rebuilding its fleet of SD70s into SD70ACC specifications. The first two units, 1800 and 1801, were unveiled in a special yellow and grey paint scheme to promote the DC to AC program, similar to the paint schemes used on the first GE AC44C6M. As of January 2020, 52 units have been rebuilt and have since been released to service, with many more units undergoing rebuild.
