Overview:
This catalog's SD70 Heritage units include a return of the series that started them all! It has been nearly 15 years since we first cataloged the Union Pacific Heritage units and we're thrilled to see them still earning their keep today. For those who may have missed them the first time around, we're bringing them back with the addition of Bluetooth control and our updated LEGACY RailSounds with selectable horns. Also, like the prototypes, these will have PTC roof antenna details as they look today. Also included are a pair of special locomotives from recently-fallen flag Montana Rail Link and a unique and short lived C&O inspired loco from the PRLX lease fleet.
