ALC-42 and SC44
Author: texchief1

Would somebody tell me what is the difference between the SC44s and the ALC42s?

Thanks.

Larger DEF and sand tank

Larger HEP inverter

Slightly longer chassis

One more emergency fuel cut off switch

Different cab seats more akin to GE seats

Back up camera

Controls to control MU'd pantographs*

Support for future dual mode power via pantographs*

*only on some units

I've been told they also have larger dynamic braking grids (stronger blowers and higher capacity resistors) along with different intake filters to deal with snow/ice better than previous models. The Via units share the new intake filters.
