where to start 🤔 These UP SD70ACe units aren't the units you want to be operating on your line as there better known as THUNDER-CABS, what is a Thunder-cab. At the time well UP was in a rush to get the first ACe units delivered to them that they never fully tested these units, run them in by crews and find out their weaknesses before placing orders. What makes a thunder-cab is the missing the Black Rubber line that can be seen running around the front of the locomotive nose just behind the sand jacks that goes down to the frame, way is this Black Rubber so important, well that Black Rubber stops the unit from rattling, vibrating an or making any loud sounds while under-power. Train Crews stopped running these units only 2months after release because the ride was so uncomfortable that they started making crews sick. Reports that crews would never pass Notch 5 as the unit became more of a problem by sound, this Jointed Rail unit shares the same quality as the real-life units as they are super loud in-cab. Any other ACe units from other Railroads all have the Black Rubber Lining. All Union Pacific SD70ACe generation 1 units known as Thunder-Cabs are used to this day as DPU power only and are never Lead units. If you're going to buy this unit buy it for a Great DPU as that's what it is titled as now a days
