## About This Content
The 4,000-horsepower SD70, the final locomotive to utilize Electro-Motive’s
long-standard “Spartan Cab” design, is ready for Train Simulator service
dressed in Canadian National’s flashy black, red, and white livery.
The EMD SD70 family of locomotives was introduced in 1992. Along with its
hefty 4,000 horses derived from Electro-Motive’s 16-cylinder 710G3B power
plant, the SD70 was notable for its use of EMD’s HTCR radial truck. By the
time the SD70 series of locomotives was introduced, the “North American” cab
design had become the standard for new locomotives (making the SD70M, in
effect, the “standard” model). Seemingly, EMD’s angular Spartan Cab design,
which dated back to the GP35 of 1963, had reached the end of the line. But
such was not the case, as four railroads ordering the SD70 type choose to
specify the Spartan Cab design and these units would thus carry the straight
“SD70” designation. At final count, 122 Spartan Cab-equipped SD70s were
constructed between 1993 and 1999.
Among the railroads buying the SD70 was the famed U. S. railroad Illinois
Central, which purchased 40 units (IC road numbers 1000-1039) during the
period 1995-1999. Originally dressed in IC’s black and white livery, the SD70s
became mainstays on the IC’s Chicago-New Orleans main line.
The year 1999 also marked Illinois Central’s integration into North American
giant Canadian National, and soon the IC SD70s began appearing in CN’s flashy
livery with IC sub-lettering. Today, the majority of the SD70s purchased by
Illinois Central continue to serve the CN and can be found operating
throughout both the United States and Canada.
The Canadian National SD70, created by Dovetail Games third-party programme
partner Travel by Train, is outfitted in CN’s black, red, and white livery and
is provided in standard and winter textures. The SD70 is an ideal addition to
the Train Simulator stable and is appropriate for use on a number of North
American Train simulator routes given that CN locomotives often serve in run-
through service on other railroads. And the CN SD70 DLC includes a pair of
scenarios for the Train Simulator Canadian National Peace River route (route
available separately).
