N SD70M Diesel UP #1979 ‘We Are One’ Scheme / Limited Run

Introduced in 1992, EMD SD70M was a 4000 horsepower locomotivethat ran on EMD’s new steerable truck design, known as theHTCR-II radial truck. This new truck allowed the locomotive to transferits power to the rails more efficiently, which in turn enabled twoSD70M locomotives to pull a train that would have taken 3SD40-2’s to pull. The DC brother of the SD70MAC, the SD70Mwas primarily put to work hauling coal trains due to its high pullingcapacity.
