Conrail's assets were split between Norfolk Southern and CSX in 1999, and all 24 of Conrail's SD70 units went to NS. Other than the CR paint scheme these units were built to NS specifications and numbered (2557 - 2580) in series with Norfolk Southern's already purchased SD70s. Production of the standard cab at EMD's London, Ontario plant ended ...
Like its sister road switcher, the SD70ACe, the SD70M-2 meets the United States EPA Tier 2 diesel emissions requirements using the same engine. And like the "ACe", the "M-2" is certified to be in conformance with ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 14001:2004. [27] In June 2004, The Wall Street Journal published an article indicating EMD was being put up for ...
The Norfolk Southern Railway did the same in 2012 with 20 of its locomotives for its 30th Railroad Anniversary. [ 4 ] 10 of them are EMD SD70ACes, while the others are GE ES44AC units.

Lake State's first acquisition was in November 1995—a former Norfolk and Western Railway ALCO RS-11. Keeping with the D&M tradition of numbering engines after the month and year of purchase, the unit was given the number 1195. Starting in 1998, eight units of Canadian National heritage were added to the roster.
The series is an improvement and extension to the EMD SD70 series, which further is an extension to the EMD SD60. These locomotives were built as a response to General Electric's Dash 9-44CW, where as their cousins, the SD70MAC, were built in response to General Electric's AC4400CW. By increasing the output of the 16-710-G3 engine from 4,000 to ...
The former Conrail units were the first AC traction locomotives owned by Norfolk Southern, with the railroad not ordering more until late 2008 with an order of General Electric's ES44AC. In late 2014, Norfolk Southern announced that they had reached an agreement with CSX Transportation to trade 12 EMD SD40-2 units (NS 3425–3447) for CSX's ...
