New Paint Schemes & Road Numbers!

 

Built in the late 1980's by GE, the DASH 8-40B diesel locomotives were identified by their dynamic brake gear located along the roof line between the cab and engine compartment, with ventilation provided by large roof-top grilles. These four-axle, high horsepower engines are still in service today in North America.

Designed by GE in the late 1980's for Santa Fe as part of their "super fleet" of locos, the four-axle, high horsepower DASH 8-40BW is still in service today. Amtrak liked the design so much, they had the DASH 8-40BW modified to reflect their new generation of passenger diesels to a DASH 8-32BHW.
