Product Information

General Electric produced the 4,000 horsepower Dash 8-40CW 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. Features: * DCC equipped * Illuminated Ditch Lights in Analog * Operational Ditch lights in DCC (On/Off/Alternating) * Directional lighting * Golden white LEDs * Separate coupler cut lever *
