Standing next to the track (yes, the prerequisite 150 feet) you can feel that deep, powerful roar pounding in your chest and ears, from those six, yes six!, 4,000+ horsepower jackhammers, pulling a mile long freight train along beautiful Turnagain Arm. On April 14, 2013, Steve Neel was in the right place at the right time to capture nearly 21,000 hp of blue and gold proudly displaying the state flag's eight gold stars, forming the Big Dipper. These SD70MACs are the backbone of the railroad's freight operations plus powering their long-distance passenger trains. EMD’s SD70MAC was the first production alternating-current traction locomotive to be delivered and it ushered in a decade of change for the rail industry. EMD would produce more than 1,000 SD70MACs before regular production ended in late 2004 with an additional four built for Alaska Railroad in 2007.
