General Electric produced the 4,000 horsepower Dash 8-40CW 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.

Directional lighting Golden white LEDs Separate coupler cut lever Blackened metal wheels Dual flywheel equipped 5-pole skewed armature motor with a low friction mechanism Factory-installed AccuMate(R) magnetic knuckle couplers
