- GE_Dash_9-40CW abstract "The GE Dash 9-40CW is a 4,000 horsepower (3,000 kW) diesel-electric locomotive series that was built by GE Transportation Systems of Erie, Pennsylvania, between January 1996 and September 2004. All 1,090 units were built for Norfolk Southern Railway, as road numbers 8889 to 9978. While other railroads opted to buy the 4,400hp units for greater power, Norfolk Southern liked the lower-powered units because the by lowering the maximum output in the higher throttle notches, the railroad can better conserve fuel.Part of the "Dash 9" series of locomotives, these units are usually rated at 4,000 hp (3,000 kW) instead of the usual 4,400 hp (3,300 kW) offered by the standard GE Dash 9-44CW. The Dash 9-40CWs use the same frame, HiAd trucks, 16-cylinder 7FDL engine, and 752AH-31 traction motors as the Dash 9-44CW. However, software in the locomotive's engine-governing unit restricts the locomotive's power output to 4,000hp rather than the more common 4,400hp.These units were basically an extension of the previous order for the standard cab GE Dash 9-40C. They were built under the same premise that a lower power rating would prolong the life of the engine, and use less fuel. There is, however, a manual override switch that allows the engineer to run the engine with all 4,400 hp (3,300 kW) if necessary.The C40-9W was replaced in the 2005 locomotive catalog with the Evolution Series model, the ES40DC. Like the Dash 9-40CWs, the Evolution Series locomotives are rated at 4,000hp to help conserve fuel. The change in output is accomplished electronically; mechanically, the two models are essentially the same.In late 2013, NS started to upgrade their C40-9Ws into C44-9Ws by increasing the wattage from 3,000 kW to 3,281 kW, thus increasing the horsepower rating to 4400. The units are being upgraded as they go in for their 184-day maintenance cycle.".
