Lionel 48169SD70ACe 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.
