Very nice, I remember the SD70ACU program back in 2016, when NS started rebuilding SD90MACs to SD70ACUs at Altoona. IIRC, NS was supposed to rebuild the SD80MACs, but that plan was scrapped, as NS sold off the SD80MACs as well as a couple SD70ACUs.
As of this writing, NS currently rosters about 45 SD70ACUs according to NSDash9, and select SD70ACUs were also modified for helper service, like the SD40Es.
Officially retired from train simming as of 2023.
