With its distinctive angular nose, wide cab, flat-sided fuel tanks, and wide cooling air intake "wings", the SD70ACe locomotive was noticeably different from previous SD70 diesels.

There were a handful of original buyers of this impressive diesel locomotive, including Burlington Northern Santa Fe, Kansas City Southern, and Ferromex.
