Athearn Genesis HO EMD SD70ACe, Standard DC, Union Pacific “Powered By Our People” #1111

Athearn Item #: ATHG11110

PROTOTYPE INFORMATION:

In order to meet stricter diesel locomotive emissions standards imposed by EPA Tier II regulations, EMD modified the SD70MAC to create the SD70ACe and SD70M-2. Each model is powered by a 16-cylinder, 4300-horsepower diesel engine. On the SD70M-2, the prime mover drives an alternator and produces AC current that is rectified to DC current, which powers the traction motors. On the SD70ACe, the DC current is then “chopped” back into AC to power the traction motors.

On June 6th, 2019 UP #1111 was unveiled in Omaha, NE honoring the employees of the Union Pacific Railroad.
