    The SD70MAC is seen on almost every class 1 railroad but it would be cool to see a CSX SD70MAC that once you buy you would be able to drive it on Boston Worcester or Sand patch grade it would also give a little more love to CSX routes because we haven't gotten a new American freight diesel in a while .

    The CSX SD70MACs have been rebuilt as SD70ACs with upgraded electrical systems from Mitsubishi. CSX also has a couple of Operation Lifesaver units that should be included in a CSX SD70AC DLC Pack.
    I'd prefer a BNSF SD70MAC/SD70MACe DLC Pack for Cajon Pass that could also include BN and BN/BNSF Patched SD70MACs along with the "Vomit Bonnet"-liveried unit.
    The Alaska RR also uses SD70MACs in both freight and passenger services, so those could be included in an ARR Anchorage-Seward TSW Route.
    KCS/CPKC also rosters SD70MACs.
    NS has rebuilt SD70ACCs which are basically former SD70 Spartan Cabs with new electrical systems, upgraded prime movers, and new wide cabs similar to the SD70ACes.

    CSX EMD SD 70MACs would be a nice addition for Samd Patch Grade too.
