History: The GE Dash 9-40C, also called a C40-9, was a 4,000-horsepower (3,000 kW) diesel locomotive that was built by GE Transportation Systems of Erie, Pennsylvania, between January 1995 and April 1995. The C40-9 was equipped with the 16-cylinder 7FDL-16 prime mover which is rated at a lower power than the 4,400 hp (3,300 kW) GE Dash 9-44CW that debuted a year earlier in 1994.
The C40-9 was, in many ways, a de-rated C44-9W built specifically for Norfolk Southern. The company owns 125 units, numbered 8764–8888. It featured the standard cab design specifically requested by NS and was the only model in the Dash-9 series to do so. All units had rooftop-mounted air conditioner units which gave them their distinct "top hat" look.
Working in conjunction with General Electric, NS began upgrading its C40-9's in 2015 to 4,400 horsepower and a North American Safety Cab, thus giving them a C44-9W rating. They also began testing a DC to AC conversion that year beginning with #8879. As part of the overhaul it received a GE wide nose/cab and locomotive speed limiter (LSL), as well as cab signals. It was reclassified as a AC44C6M.
