A new loco has recently emerged from EMD’s facility in Ontario. Rumor has it that EMDX 2012 is a Tier-4 demonstrator. This pic shows EMDX 2012 in a consist with other locos and covered in a tarp. Judging by the outline of the radiator and the frame, it looks like a SD70ACe.

So who on this board is going to the RSI Show in Minneapolis, where this locomotive will be displayed?
I saw this rumor on Loconotes and subsequent posts made it sound like it's just an ACe.
We shall see though.
I doubt this is a Tier 4 unit as EMD is still working on modifications to the 710, also the number it self is 2012 Tier 3 goes into effect next year. this could possibly have common rail injection to meet tier 3 emissions protocol.

So, there are photos up on the net now. Sharp looking unit.
Any of our members that were there care to add anything?
EMDX #2012, Tier-3 SD70ACe.

Yeah, that's one of the pics I saw. I was hoping for some more details. I saw a very very bad picture of the information stand in front.
Tier 3.I think I snapped a picture of the info stand. Il just have to find it. Very nice engine inside.
