Are there any noticible visual differences between EMDs SD70s and GEs ES44s? the only difference that i have noticed in pictures is that the cab door on SD70s is on the right and the door is on the left on ES44s.
And are there any exterior differences between AC and DC models?

If you look again and compare, there are actually quite a few differences, notably and radiator areas. Granted, it's not as easy as in the past to tell locomotives apart. The SD70 has a very large flared radiator, like they used in models such as the SD80MAC, and a curved roofline over the engine compartment. The ES44, for the most part, looks similar to other GEs, but the radiator area is longer than earlier models. Hope this helps.
