Watch this video of these monsters pulling. The TURBO sound if fantastic. maybe someone can tell me what engines they are? Are they AC4400’S?
They look like Dash9’s to me…C44-9W by GE.

AC4400CW, if I can trust my eyes and their comparison to the Kato version of same.
If I am wrong, what do I know…I’m a steam nut.
Edit- darn, now I want to agree with Don…I can’t tell! [%-)]
Whomever knows for sure, what’s the diff? Point it out, please.
Acording to the roster it’s a former CNW C44-9W still pulling hard.
You think that turbo is bad, about a week ago I saw two SD40-2s accelerating a long intermodal train that is usually handled by a pair of AC4400Ws. That was loud!
Cheers!

The lead unit, UP 9779, is a GE C44-9W. Better known as a Dash 9.
Wow. That sounded really good. I haven’t heard a Turbo like that for a long time. Wow.
