Prototype Information: In late 1993 General Electric introduce the Dash 9-44CW  for the domestic and international locomotive market.  The Dash 9-44CW was the right locomotive at the right time for GE.  Tremendous growth and change within the railroad industry since the early 1990's created an need for new locomotives.  The Dash 9 became the locomotive of choice for many major railroads.   Chicago & North Western bought the first Dash 9's in 1993.  Other railroads like the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific soon followed the C&NW adding large fleets of Dash-9's to their rosters. By the late 90's Union Pacific, CSX, Norfolk Southern, and Union Pacific had bought Dash 9's.  In Canada, Canadian National and British Columbia Railway bought the locomotives.  The Dash 9 found international customers including railroads in Australia.  With thousands of Dash 9's in service around the country and the world and many more on order, the Dash 9-44CW is sure to be a common sight on major railroads for the next decade.
