Date: 08/27/13 15:11 Re: EMD tests on the Moffat Author: TTownTrains Nice pic, indeed! For those of us out-of-staters who don't recognize all of the Moffat locations, could you tell us where this was taken? About all I know is it is west of Denver. ;-)
Thanks. Bill Gillfillan Tulsa, OK Date: 08/27/13 15:39 Re: EMD tests on the Moffat Author: tomstp Front range, big 10 curve area.

Older SD70ACe's had 1 inverter per truck. Date: 08/28/13 01:41 Re: EMD tests on the Moffat Author: redneckrailfan Railbaron Wrote:

They haven't gone into production yet, but EMD will indeed be offering the SD70ACe with 1 inverter per axle. Whether it will be standard equipment or an available option is yet to be seen. Currently EMDX #1206 and 1208 are on UP while #1209 and 1210 are testing on CSX. EMDX 1207 was originally built in similar configuration but was converted to an SD70ACe-P4.
