Date: 02/20/21 13:12 Re: Finally MRS got SD70ACe ( Brazil) Author: pedrop MRS bought the EMD Demonstrators, plus a new unit: three SD70ACe and one SD80ACe. The rumors say it also bought part of Eldorado SD70ACe fleet, that are being overhauled at Progress Rail plant. It is a start, since MRS is almost all GE. The last GM/EMD MRS purchased were a few second hand SD40R in US in 2003.
