Has any other railroad officially purchased the SD70ace? I know CSX has several running around in their paint, but do they own them? What about UP or BNSF?

UP is purchasing the SD70ACe, as is Montana Rail Link. I haven't heard anything about BNSF. Come to think of it, when was the last time BNSF bought anything from EMD? Seems like it's been nothing but GE for a while.

Hopefully it will stay that way

Look's sharp, nice to see something different. This thing might even make it's way through Chicago on it's way to Mexico? Seems possible.

The sharp geometric shapes and lines of that paint scheme are well suited to the sharp shapes and lines of that locomotive.

Indeed! When I first saw the EMD demo SD70ACe's 2 years ago (specifically, EMDX 70 with the light underframe--not to mention the cut-away side sill under the cab) I wondered whether any paint scheme would look pretty on these units. The FXE paint makes them look really good!

Would love to see them done in either the EL gray/yellow/maroon or the D&H lightning stripe scheme!

According to the EMD website, the SD70M-2 and SD70ACe fuel capacity is 4,900 gallons. The fuel tank is also about 25 feet long :-D
