Title:
NS 9793 w/ C40-9W Info.
Description:
Some interesting stuff I never knew about this NS Horse! The GE Dash 9-40CW is a 4,000 hp (2,980 kW) diesel locomotive built by GE Transportation Systems of Erie, Pennsylvania. The only buyer of this locomotive has been Norfolk Southern. Their reasoning is that a slightly less powerful locomotive can still perform the same tasks but will put less stress on its components and thus will require less maintenance. Norfolk Southern also uses a standard control stand with GE IFD's mounted on top of them rather than using the desktop control system. The Dash 9 is limited to a primary crew of just 2, an engineer and conductor trainees and/or brakemen must ride in a very cramped seat behind the conductor. Because of more stringent emissions requirements that came into effect in the United States on January 1, 2005, in production the Dash 9-40CW has been replaced by the GE ES40DC. for more information on NS D9-40CW see GE Locomotives 110 Years of General Electric Motive Power by Brian Solomon pages 141-143. ISBN 0-7603-1361-X. ( Info. from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia )
