These six-axle, 4,000 hp engines are still in service today in North America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDitch lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber boards, sand fill hatch, and marker lights where appropriate by railroad (8-40CW only)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRealistic die-cast underframe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory-equipped with AccuMate® knuckle couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoupler pocket designed to accept AccuMate® Proto-couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly detailed coupler cut bars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple unit hoses and trainline hoses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive-pole skewed armature motor with dual flywheels for optimum performance at all speeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparately-installed scale windshield wipers, metal grab irons and fine scale handrails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirectional lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePainted crew members\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSnowplow and piping on trucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended minimum radius: 22”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAtlas Master™ Series Gold Additional Features:\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports all DCC-programming modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible mapping of function keys F0 to F31\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFollows all NMRA DCC standards and recommended practices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003eNOTE: NOS (New Old Stock) \/ USED items are as-is and not returnable.
