Details:

Western road Santa Fe, always hungry for high horsepower locomotives to speed its hot inter modal trains, purchased yet another variant, the sd75m. The sd75m featured 4,300hp, and externally was almost identical to the SD70M, save for an equipment bulge on the right side of the long hood, underneath the inertial intake grill. Union pacific, as well as Norfolk southern, purchased SD70Ms featuring the flared radiators.

While outwardly similar at first glance to the sd60,. Eastern giant Norfolk southern liked what it saw, and was the first to order sd70s, but with a twist instead of having them equipped with the increasingly popular and soon to be standard m cab, they opted for standard, or spartan cabs on their initial orders.

NS and up both purchased units featuring this revised cab, as well as the flared radiators, giving them a dramatically different appearance in comparison to earlier production SD70Ms. To improve engine cooling and to reduce emissions, in 20 edm re designed the radiator compartment on the SD70M, flaring the radiator intake panels outward, resulting in an appearance reminiscent of sd45 from the 1960s.

These units travelled all over north America, showing off the latest technology from edm. However, the sheer number of units built of various versions.

Sd70, SD70M, sd70i, sd75m, etc.

New d70tr traction motors were standard, and controlling all of this power and locomotive function was Eden em 2000 microprocessor, which boasted more memory, twice the processing speed, and improved locomotive self diagnostic capabilities compared to the processor suite used in the sd60.

They could be found in a variety of assignments over the NS system, and even saw run through service on connecting roads, such as southern pacific, making appearances on the west coast. Even more revolutionary was the inclusion of radial truck design, the THC r. Western giant southern pacific also liked what it saw in the edm demonstrator set, and purchased 25 SD70Ms in 1994, Sp as of this writing, the SD70M has been superseded by the SD70M 2 in optimistic catalog. Drive sd70 featured several external design refinements from the predecessor model.

Such as Santa fe51 units becoming part of NSF in 1995, and sp25 units going to union pacific in with the success of these units likely influencing up decision to eventually order over 1,000 SD70Ms. Battery boxes were relocated to the left hand side walkway immediately behind the cab, a large, boxy forward traction motor blower housing replaced the angular version used on sd60s, the raised walkway duct on the left hand walkway was eliminated, and an intake for the rear traction motor blower on the left hand side of the carboy, directly under the rear radiator intake grill, was added. Internally, the sd70 boasted improvements as well a 16 710gb prime mover, rated at 4,000hp, was coupled to a new alternator design, the ar20.

An even bigger change was coming. While mergers and takeovers would alter the ownership picture even further. This design, which made its debut under edm demo sd60 3, replaced the venerable ht c truck, and is unique in its ability to shift, or steer, the wheel sets laterally through curves, resulting in greatly reduced wheel set and track wear, and coupled with the new d70tr traction motors and em 2000 microprocessor, greatly improved adhesion.

With the success of this locomotive family and its evolution over the years, it is only fitting that Athearn genesis offer an all new model of this popular edm locomotive. Continuing with previous practice, edm built a set of demonstrator SD70Ms, edm, all equipped with the north American safety cab hence the m in their model designation, and decked out in an attractive gray, silver, and burgundy paint scheme.
