Eastern Railroad Discussion > New SD70ACe's?Date: 10/31/14 21:09 New SD70ACe's? Author: NS62590 I know NS ordered 50 new EMD SD70ACe's (or at least I thought they did) to be numbered 1125-1174. Anyone know when they're to be delivered?
Date: 10/31/14 21:18 Re: New SD70ACe's? Author: NSDash9 The latest info I have is that the first few units may arrive in late November, but likely all to be delivered in December.

Date: 10/31/14 21:50 Re: New SD70ACe's? Author: NS19K Was 50 all that NS wanted or was that all the capacity EMD could spare?
Date: 10/31/14 21:59 Re: New SD70ACe's? Author: NSDash9 The additional order was for 50 units, with the possibility of 10 more just before years end, but the order stayed at 50. Not sure if NS nixed the 10 additional, or if EMD did so due to capacity issues.
Chris Toth NSDash9.com Date: 11/02/14 04:29 Re: New SD70ACe's? Author: Smithy81a How come NS ordered no units from GE this year? I was under the impression NS preffered gevos over the ace for new power and EMD in the second hand market
Date: 11/02/14 07:14 Re: New SD70ACe's? Author: NSDash9 NS has found the SD70ACe reliability to be much better than that of its GEVO units, thus the recent preference of the SD70ACe over the ES44AC's for new orders.
Chris Toth NSDash9.com Date: 11/02/14 09:39 Re: New SD70ACe's? Author: Smithy81a Okay cheers Chris. I see also (from your page) the latest NS sd70aces are rated at 4400hp. I'm guessing fom the numbering that MRL has their latest batch at the same rating.
