The SD80MAC is a 5000 horsepower (3.7 MW) C-C diesel-electric locomotive. The model uses a 20 cylinder version of EMD’s 710G prime mover and is the first diesel locomotive to use a 20-cylinder engine since EMD’s SD45 and SD45-2. It introduced a wide radiator housing similar to GE Transportation locomotives and the placement of dynamic brakes at the rear of the locomotive which is a quieter location features that were incorporated into the SD90MAC and SD70ACe models.
