Sad that they had to leave so soon. If it was possible, they could’ve sent them back to EMD to resolve the noise issues, but then again PSR implementation likely made that decision insufficient since all of the ACes were sold off. Just so you know, that NBSR photo at 9:54 is an SD70M-2

@@buccaneerrailfanning1776 yeah CN had 4 ACes. You got the CN unit correct. It’s just the NBSR unit at the top middle. The best way to distinguish an ACe from an M-2 is the large inverter box behind the conductor side cab. The ACe would have 2 horizontal vents and the M-2 has 3 horizontal panels. It was probably hard to tell them apart because they’re both nearly identical, unlike their predecessors. I couldn’t even distinguish them at first myself lol

Doubt they could’ve fixed the sound issues. If they were gonna add the rubber insulation they’d have to cut through the frame of the cab (not a very easy task). NS is just now doing that with those two SD70M-2 rebuilds now, but that might not even be sufficient.

Nice video, wish these units stayed around longer on CSX. Just one little note, CSXs weren’t AH units and UP also still let’s their thunder cabs lead. Only BNSF banned them from leading, which is why theirs never even got PTC. These units are very lesser known in the history of CSX so I’m glad to see some people acknowledging them, as they were pretty awesome

@@armandoperez7967 They are labeled "ICC" for the new Isolated Comfort Cabs that they received when they were rebuilt, which are a lot quieter and more comfortable for crews because they have a rubber seal between them and the frame, drowning out noise and vibration.

CSX sold them back to progress rail, UP has 100 , I've only seen two of those in use, NS has none that I know of nor does BNSF. No one is talking about the tier 4 much, other than it's not well liked.And no specifics.

Absolute shitboxes. I always liked the looks of the SD70ACe when I was a kid, but in the past 15 years working on them I’ve come to realize they’re poor locomotives compared to their GE counterparts, whether referring to reliability or comfort. When they’re happy and healthy they’re good pulling units, but they’re mostly cantankerous pieces of shit.
