Kato C44-9W:

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.

C44-9W Union Pacific #9564.
