These six-axle, 4,000 hp engines are still in service today in North America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"text\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51680464077117,"sku":"ATL10004499","price":399.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/6284\/7293\/files\/imgi_20_n40005829.jpg?v=1778177343","url":"https:\/\/www.abchobby.ca\/products\/dcc-atlas-n-scale-diesel-ho-dash-8-40cw-locomotive-rd-2466","provider":"ABC Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
