This model is an [[EMD SD38|SD38]] with an AR10 [[alternating current]] [[alternator]] instead of the SD38's normal [[direct current]] generator. It produces {{convert|2,000|hp|kW|lk=on}} from a 16-[[cylinder (engine)|cylinder]] EMD 645E roots blown prime mover. It came equipped with or without dynamic brakes. This locomotive shares a common frame with the [[EMD SD38|SD38]], [[EMD SD39|SD39]], [[EMD SD40|SD40]] and [[EMD SD45|SD45]]. The SD38AC was a transition between the [[EMD SD38|SD38]] and its successor, the [[EMD SD38-2|SD38-2]]. 15 examples of this model were built; 6 for [[Bessemer and Lake Erie Railroad|B&LE]], 8 for [[Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range Railway|DMIR]] and one for [[BC Hydro]]. ==Original owners== {| class="wikitable" !
