HO Scale North American Locomotives

The headliner of GE�s 1993 freight locomotive line was the 6 motor, 4400hp C44-9W �Dash 9.� Slightly longer than its predecessors at 73 feet, 2 inches, the C44-9W used a new HiAd, bolsterless low-weight truck that was designed for better grip on the rails no matter the weather. A split cooling system lowered engine temperatures and fuel consumption as well, granting these locomotives a longer operation life and lower overhead costs.
