[ESS 1.5] Union Pacific EMD SD70ACe

EMD SD70ACe Union Pacific Collection: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2748808481 Lore EMD had all but lost their title as the biggest seller of diesel locomotives. The SD70M and SD70MAC respectively were not failures like the SD50 and SD60, but had nowhere near the popularity the SD40 had. The GE Dash 9/AC44 series had vastly outsold the SD70 series. In 2004 EPA tier 2 Emissions took effect. General Electric released their new ES44AC to fit these emissions standards, while EMD had took some design notes from GE to better compete with GE and gain back some ground. While the ES44 sported a brand new GEVO-12 prime mover, the EMD 710 would be able to hold out until Tier 4 emissions came along. EMD had widened their cab, made rubber gasket isolated cabs standard, and adopted the "Notch Nose" design to make it easier to enter the cab from the nose. EMD had made considerable improvements, but the 2 stroke 710 was still loud and uncomfortable for engineers. Engineers often complained the displays were not user friendly and the locomotive was overall less spacious and comfortable than the GE menace. That along with being released later than the ES44AC hurt EMD's sales. That being said, the ACe had sold well and EMD was still holding their own. Considering GM had hit a rough patch financially, living government contract to government contract, they had to sell off some branches to make due. EMD was one of those. It was sold to Greenbriar Equity Group L. P. in 2005. Greenbriar continued producing the ACe until they sold EMD to Caterpillar Inc. in 2010, where caterpillar continued production until tier 4 emissions were passed in 2015. Overall the SD70ACe is a reliable locomotive, much more reliable than the GE competitor, but much less comfortable. It's unique design makes it a favorite among some railfans and has cemented an iconic look for EMD going into the future.
