It is one of my favorite locomotives of all them and I must say I am impressed they did a nice job with it.

I like this engine way more than I hate it, I like it because,
- Nice Detail
-Nice Sounds and Horn
-Very Strong
-The EMD SD70ace is literally my favorite engine in universal existance
What I think needs fixing is,
-The Fact that the tank looks like it is scraping the track (makes it look like a rough ride)
-The Headlights don't actually work
Other than cons though... beautiful engine love it!

Incredibly old DLC for the original Railworks 3, was actually bundled with RW3 when I bought it and is one of the first things I ever bought on steam when I was a kid.
It's rough around the edges and doesn't quite work properly with the game, IIRC it's a Railworks 2 Port, The Weather Effects don't work, the sounds are sub-par, and the walkway in the cab-view is invisible, and the headlights don't work.
I recommend it simply because it's a rather nice asset to have and I feel like the SD70ACe isn't utilized enough, but if you want realism, and a very functional asset, you might be disapointed with it.
I also might be biased because the SD70ACe is the nicest looking Locomotive, and my number one favourite, so I can look past its flaws, I dream of a day this gets updated, but, I doubt it, DTG aren't exactly.. well.. perfect for lack of nicer words.
So really it's a Yes and No thing.

This is a good loco to have. However, the headlight doesn't light up the track ahead, there is no cab light, the dynamic brakes have far too much power and result in wheelslip and derailment of the train. Because of this, I am going to have to take 4 marks off for those shoddy flaws. Despite that, I would still recommend this loco. A good range 6/10 from myself.

An absolute waste of money that might have worked 10 years ago when it was released but is hopelessly broken now.
The couplers stretch like they're doing yoga, it doesn't register as a collision but it's definitely jarring to descend a grade and see one of your locomotives with its nose up the other's ass. There is, however, a freeware patch out there that's dead simple to install that fixes this.
The engine is both extremely overpowered compared to prototype both in terms of acceleration and dynamic braking performance, moreso on the braking side of things. Setting the dynamic brakes, even to notch 1, results in the engine slowing down 10 mph in about 5 seconds. You have to ride the automatic brakes instead going down a grade.
The exterior is gorgeous but the interior is hopelessly dated.
Overall, I can't recommend this at all. Spend your money on something else. The scenarios aren't even particularly engaging.

Do i recommend this product?
Yes and No
Why both?
Yes the locomotive's inclueded are nice to have in one's collection of U.S train's.
On the No side of it, the headlights do not emit any light and the windshield doesn't have the weather effect such as for rain or snow.
If this is fixed then i would most certintly recommend adding this to your collection.

Picked it up since it was 90% off. Overall it's a old add-on being released back in 2012 so it does have it's issues that were never really fixed and carried over to the SD70 vol2 add-on and these include poor headlight illumination, weather affects like snow and rain don't appear on the windscreens, coupler stretching and bad dynamic braking which can prove a problem then acting in the DPU role or hilly terrain.
Two scenarios for the Cajon Pass are included providing 100min of gameplay before it's off to the workshop to find further use for the two included liveries. Certainly wouldn't buy this at full price or if the discount is 50% but UP fans may overlook the issues perhaps.
Now while Cajon Pass is not for sale on steam to outside America due issues with BNSF Just Trains does sell it and may be usefull to those looking for it: https://www.justtrains.net/product/rail-simulator-official-expansion-pack-download
A sound enhancement is also available from Searchlight Simulations that cover several SD70 packs including this one: https://www.store.searchlight-simulations.com/emd-16n-710g3c

This loco is too OP to operate realistically. The couplers stretch like rubber bands and float in mid-air. The dynamic brakes are too OP and will always cause either wheelslip or derailment. If you do buy it, I personally don't recommend it for lead-unit operation in mountainous territory and for DPU operations as it can clip into the car in front of it, lift it off the rails, and if you're not careful derail your train.
These issues are also present in the SD70Ace V2 pack.
I bought these a few years ago and I haven't found much use for them.

I love this locomotive! Looks fantastic! I like the way the engine sounds when idling. Included is 2 liveries: UP and UP Heritage 1989 DRGW. Also is two scenarios for Cajon Pass(career and standard) and free roam. I recommend this add-on!
