CSX Intermodal I009 lead by 2 flared SD70AC's
Author: CornerFieldRailfan

Here is a photo I took back in Oct 2024 in Madison OH of I009, lead by 4710 & 4758.

Flared AC's are my favorite CSX EMD's.

I am sure that didn't end up well.

Those things are interesting pieces, the curiosity of the conversion vs the value of the original pieces makes
one wonder. If it were worth the effort UP would have done a boatload of the things.

No conversions were done to these sd70mac's.  That is how that batch was delivered starting at 4700. .  The initial batch(es?) of sd70mac's had the flat radiator design similar looking  to the sd60 series.

Didn't CSX convert some SD70s to AC drive, or was that NS?

NS had 52 SD70's rebuilt as AC traction SD70ACC's.
