| The
4,000hp Dash 8-40CW was produced by General Electric
between 1989 and 1993 as a follow-up
to the successful Dash 8-40C locomotive. The most distinguishing
feature of this model was the introduction of GE’s
version of the wide-nose “North American Safety
Cab.” This style of cab would become a common sight
on railroads across the country. Four major railroads
purchased the Dash 8-40CW in fairly large quantities,
including Conrail, CSX, Santa Fe and Union Pacific. Most
of these units are still in regular mainline and heavy-haul
freight service today. Due to various mergers, they can
also be seen operating for new owners Norfolk Southern
and BNSF. |
