Santa Fe  No. 880



Wide Nose!



The 4,000hp Dash 8-40CW was produced by General Electric 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.
