Where's The Exust Stack? On Top?
Posted by bubbajustin on Friday, February 6, 2009 4:59 PM

This might seem silly but, for the life of me I can't ever see the exust stack on the SD70ACe's. No matter how hard I look I can't see it. Any insight on where it is? Is it like the stack's on  geep's? Is there a stack?Confused

Here's a top view of a BNSF SD70ACe. Its in the bumped up box under the horse head of the NS unit behind it.

The traditional spot for all EMD turbocharged units, though I agree with the newer engines its harder to spot the same details as always.

Ohhhhhhhhhh!!! I see now!Shy Just to the front of the engine cab! Duhh. But no wonder it was so hard for me to see it. It barley sticks up. If you didn't know, you would think that it would just be part of the dnbk. blowers. Look how mutch higher the -9's  unit's stack sticks up! GE makes it easy on us. Thanks to all,

Justin

 They used to be a little more pronounced on EMDs, they are on the opposite end of GEs.  It gets lost with the air intake up there.
