First built for Union Pacific in the late 1980s by General Electric, the DASH 8-40C diesel locomotives were identified by an enlarged exhaust stack and the mounting of the dynamic brake grids in a square-like unit behind the cab, which housed an enlarged equipment blower fan. These six-axle, 4,000 hp engines are still in service today in North America. 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. Due to various mergers, they can also be seen operating for new owners Norfolk Southern and BNSF. Dual flywheel equipped 5-pole skewed armature motor with a low friction mechanism. Factory-installed AccuMate® magnetic knuckle couplers. DCC OPERATION FEATURES (GOLD LOCOMOTIVES ONLY).
