Product Information:
Rapido’s model has been designed from the ground up to create a wide array of phase variations on the SD70MAC, including late production units for CSX and Alaska Railroad, Metra’s unique SD70MACH, and a variety of rebuilds.
The SD70MAC was a groundbreaking locomotive, as it truly ushered in a new era of power policies and orders. It was the first production AC traction freight locomotive in North America, with Burlington Northern receiving its first 9400 series units in late 1993. The key difference with AC traction motors is their higher durability compared to DC traction motors. AC motors do not burn out at low speeds from overheating, though they cost more than DC motors.
