International Railroad Discussion > Comparing EMD SD70ACeBB X GE BB40-9WM (Brazil)Date: 02/01/21 09:33 Comparing EMD SD70ACeBB X GE BB40-9WM (Brazil) Author: pedrop Hi, some EMD SD70ACeBB are coming back to EMD plant near here for maintenance and I have the opportunity to compare them with the GE BB40-9W'S. Here are some pics I took last week at EVP.

Thanks for the great comparison photos Pedro. Dave Date: 02/01/21 21:07 Re: Comparing EMD SD70ACeBB X GE BB40-9WM (Brazil) Author: SOO6617 Interesting that the EMD uses 3-phase AC traction, while the GE still uses DC traction motors.
