Who loves C40-9W's!

Title says it all!

I like em’ better than those darn GP60s [(-D]

LOL!![(-D]

GE garbage. At least the GP60’s load decently.

[#ditto] I really never took a likeing to GE locos. Plus EMD’s have Better sounding turbos.[;)] Most of the time, not saying all. Plus I can’t tell the diffrence between the locos.

Other wise, if I didn’t like EMD, I would probably like the Dash 9

Why does everyone hate C40-9w’s![banghead]

I don’t think People Hate diffrent locos, but rather is one less down The list. See if I had a list I would proabably have the EMDs first but then the GE would be still on there, just lower. it dosn’t mean that I hate it, just means that it isn’t my favorite.

Oh. I get it.[tup]

NS crash 9s are my favorite out of all the roads who have ever owned them.
here’s my list of C40/44-9Ws in order from most to least liked:

-NS
-ATSF
-BNSF
-SP
-CNW
-UP

so yes, there IS love for the C40-9W. i love those NS GEs!

I don’t care for catfish all that much.

Atmo you forgot to rank CSX or was that deliberate.

as long that it is either a bnsf,ns,cp,or up i do like like the c40-9w’s.

Never seen one in real life, living in Southern Alberta! But, hopefully on my trip to Montana I’ll catch one. I love GEs, and the C40-9Ws are no exception. NS paint is very nice, and gives a great look to the loco!

I will say this much for the Dash-9;

It was the first somewhat decent loco GE built.

It is better than the new EVO.

PS: Can someone tell me how I can change the spacing in these messages? The problem is that each time I hit “Enter”, the next sentence skips a line. If I just keep on typing the paragraph stays together such as this one. Hit enter now.

See what I mean.

That would be pretty rare seeing a c40-9w in montana ,but still you do have a chance of seeing one!

I’d rather have a GP60. Don’t believe me? Look at my avatar! :slight_smile:

LOL![(-D]

I love Dash 9’s in all their incarnations. The C40-9W’s are no exception. I thought the standard cab Dash 9’s NS had were pretty neat too.

One thing though… I hate the cab headlights!! Drop them please!!

Besides any problems they present for operation (reflection off of snow, rain, etc), they just look so stupid!!! (Sorry if I offend any of you on this, but…)

It’s ok[bow]

I’m an SD70ACe kind of guy myself.
