The SD70ACe is the latest in the line of EMD's "70" series locomotives that is intended to cut railroad costs for maintenance by providing a locomotive that is more efficient and more powerful, lessening fuel costs and the total numbers of running units. The SD70ACe has been designed to conform to EPA Tier-2 emissions standards while sporting 4300 horsepower. The CSX Railroad has added 20 SD70ACe's to its rosters as of 2005, using them in service along the East coast from Florida all the way up into Quebec and Ontario.
