Lionel 28287SD70ACe Diesel Locomotives
With its distinctive angular nose, wide cab, flat-sided fuel
tanks, and wide cooling air intake "wings", the SD70ACe locomotive was
noticeably different from previous SD70 diesels. It was also more
environmentally friendly, having been updated to meet new EPA regulations for
railroad locomotives.
There were a handful of original buyers of this impressive diesel
locomotive, including Burlington Northern Santa Fe, Kansas City Southern, and Ferromex. The
Kansas City Southern SD70ACe captures the railroad's recent switch on many of
its locomotives to yellow, red, and brunswick green-a paint scheme that once
adorned its famous Southern Belle passengers cars. Matching sets of Standard O freight cars are available for
of this diesel locomotives.
