SD70M vs SD70I
Posted by StillGrande on Monday, March 15, 2004 3:11 PM
I have been wondering this for some time. What are the external differences in these two? I know the SD70I has the Canadian "Whisper" cab, but visually, is there a difference between the two?

Just wondering.

Actualy the Whisper cab is external as well as internal. There's a small line on the side of the nose. Conrail was the first to buy Whisper cab equiped engines with the rare SD60I in 1994.
