There are no plans to offer the SD70ACe with the isolated-cab option. EMD feels that the relocation of the electrical cabinet suffices. Having ridden the SD70ACe at speed at full load, it struck me as quiet and vibration-free. <br /> <br />It would be silly to give a summarized version of the the article here--that's why it's the length it is. Why not read it when your copy arrives on Monday, or visit your retail outlet today, and from that draw your own conclusions? Suffice it to say that are striking differences in the approach GE took to get to the EV44AC and EMD to the SD70ACe. <br /> <br />EMD is also road testing, but rather than on a Class I, it's doing it at the Pueblo Test Track. It's an interesting question which is the "better" approach; obviously, if EMD wanted to do Class I tests, it could do that, and if GE wanted to do Test Track tests, it could do that. <br /> <br />Time will tell which approach finds better market acceptance.
