Hy-Line Rail, Gardaka’s largest rail/rail holdings corporation, has recently purchased 400 new SD70ACe locomotives from Zamboin Rail Industries. Two units were spotted on train Q-STJPFC1-12 today, along with a Robinson Global Enterprises CW44ACX. Photographer Markus Hamilton brings us the following pictures.

The chunky units have several innovative features, not the least of which is technology which allows for each axle to have an individual AC inverter. Trainz Today predicts that these units will be used mainly on intermodal trains in Vidalia, and heavy-haul freight on the Roman continent.
