HO G2 Dash 9-44CW with DCC & Sound, SF #644 Overview
ATSF 600-699 were some of the last units delivered to Santa Fe before the BNSF merger. Painted in the famous âSuperfleetâ scheme, they handled priority trains across the system. Being relatively new, the units were a low priority for repainting, and several survive today today wearing their faded original paint.
Built by GE from 1993 until 2004, the Dash 9-44CW and its variants were the definitive North American mainline freight locomotives of their time, with an impressive 3668 total units built. Constructed for US railroads from coast to coast, the units were also ordered by Canadian roads, and significant export orders went to Australia and Brazil.
The new Athearn Genesis 2.0 Dash 9-44CW is equally as impressive as its prototype, with a host of railroad specific details. From Canadian National's unique âtear dropâ windows to the early body details on Southern Pacific and Santa Fe, these models take the Genesis 2.0 line to new heights. Standard on all models are Athearn's superior paint colors, reliable Genesis drive and LED lighting for years of trouble free operation.
