Prototype Information —

The "Dash 9" is one of today's most recognizable locomotives, widely used on Class I mainline railroads.
The first year of production of this heavy freight hauler by GE (General Electric Company) was 1993.
This behemoth locomotive can generate up to 4,400 horsepower.
Besides its sheer overall size, the Dash 9 is often recognized by the flat radiators that extend over the edge of the hood at the back of the locomotive.
There are several variations in the outward appearance of the Dash 9. End handrails are commonly referred to as "wide" or "narrow", while step wells may be classified as "5-step" or "6-step." Location of number boards may also differ between roads ("high" or "low"). The Santa Fe (and later BNSF) units also feature the notched "gull wing" cab. These differences are important to keep in mind if you are working with an undecorated model or bodyshell and wanting to paint it faithful to a specific prototype.

Model Features (Applies to Fourth Release) —

This release has been re-tooled for a release in both UP & SP.
Enhanced underside detailing.
Accurate ditchlight placement.
Accurate anti-climber positioning.
Separate handrail and front Safety Rail molding.
Illuminated number boards.
Modeling era: 1993 to present.

Model Features (Applies to Third Production) —

This is our 3rd production of C44-9W models, following previous releases several years ago.
Split metal frame is "DCC-friendly" (designed for easy drop-in installation of decoder).
All models are equipped with Bright White LED headlights.
Equipped with KATO five-pole motor with dual brass flywheels, chemically blackened metal wheels and KATO semi-automatic knuckle couplers.
Modeling era: 1993 to present.

Fifth Production
Kato is happy to announce a second road number for the SP and UP locomotives. This C44-9W is the retooled Southern Pacific and Union Pacific locomotive. Modelers who have purchased past productions of the C44-9W will be interested in this revised model, with its enhanced underside detailing, accurate ditch light and anti-climber positioning, separate handrail and front safety rail molding, and illuminated number boards and now a second road number.
