Many Class 1, regional, and foreign railroads purchased the AC4400CWs. Ownership spanned the North American Continent and with their long lives, have seen numerous paint scheme variations and ownership changes through the years. The AC4400CW went through many changes during its production. Some are easily noticeable; early units being delivered with GE’s Hi-Adhesion Trucks, while later units that had the option for newly developed GE Steerable Truck. Other details are smaller and takes a careful eye to see; the addition of a door stop, how the step wells are reinforced, or the number and positioning of panels and doors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAthearn has captured all these details thorough research and precision tooling to reproduce dozens of variations. The newly tooled Genesis AC4400CW takes its reign as the new flagship model for Athearn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCSX purchased more AC4400CWs than any other railroad, spanning almost the entire production period. This includes three of the first six produced which have distinctive spotting features compared to all other units. A lightning bolt graphic was applied under the road number making these easy to identify as AC traction motors. Unique to CSX, all these units are equipped with hooks to carry a length of chain under the walkway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront ditch lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrime air dryer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow number boards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquipped with a CSX standard 'tow-chain'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNamed Spirit of West Virginia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne of the original six AC4400CWs built\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRe-trucked and renumbered from the originally delivered 9100 series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHolden K5H Horn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarly body with central air intake forwards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnique angled grab irons on top of the nose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRadiator grills on right side are evenly sized (a feature that didn’t last with later models)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnevenly spaced rear grab irons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVertical handrail behind invertor cabinet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended range dynamic brakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarly no-notch fuel tank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBolted on fuel tank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePTC antenna array\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGE Steerable trucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully-assembled and ready-to-run\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDCC-ready features Quick Plug™ plug-and-play technology with 21-pin NEM connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScaled from prototype resources including drawings, field measurements, photographs, and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurately –painted and –printed paint schemes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLED lighting adjusted to lifelike settings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIlluminated number boards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIlluminated ground lights above front trucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIlluminated front and rear walkway lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIlluminated marker lights (where applicable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEtched, see-through walkway steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnimated roller bearing caps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoupler cut levers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible rubber MU hoses for durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible rubber trainline hose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSee-through cab windows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull cab interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWalkway tread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine-scale Celcon handrails for scale appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWindshield wipers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLift rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWire grab irons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed fuel tank with fuel fillers, fuel gauges, \u0026amp;
