Collectible Vintage train Mug GM-Electro-Motive Division 70 Series Locomotives .

This mug celebrates the EMD 70 series introduced in late 1992. This was a revolutionary leap in rail technology particularly with the introduction of AC or alternating current traction in the SD70MAC model. This allows superior pulling power at low speeds . It also introduced HTCR radial truck, which allows axles to steer into curves reducing wear on the rails and wheels. Usually hauling coal or grain. For 3 decades this locomotive was more powerful,fuel efficient and reliable compared to traditional DC motors. Tams pottery in Staffordshire, England produced this particular mug. And it is very nice and rare to see in these colors. And that indicates classic NEW HAVEN RAILROAD branding from Pennsylvania.
