*****Lombard Hobbies Recommendation - As modelers ourselves we highly recommend ONLY running DCC on DCC systems and DC on DC systems, regardless of 'Dual-Mode' capability. This gives optimum performance and safeguards the unit from possible damage from running on a different system than originally intended and from any inexperienced operator errors.

Prototype History:

The AC4400CW was based upon GE’s highly successful Dash 9-44CW design and would become one of the hottest-selling locomotives of the 1990s and beyond. Over 2,800 units were built by the time production ended with every major railroad except for Norfolk Southern ordering them new. CSX ordered 615 total units to replace much of their aging fleet of inherited GEs from predecessors Seaboard Coast Line, Louisville & Nashville, Chessie, and more.

By the time the first order arrived from GE in the summer of 1994, CSX finally settled on the YN2 paint scheme after ten years of experimenting with different designs. YN2 would go on to become what is likely the most recognized and popular paint scheme among the CSX railfan community. Another notable fact about the AC4400CWs is that they were the first CSX locomotives to be equipped with ditch lights from the builder.

Initially designed for heavy-haul service in coal fields, the AC4400CW series found assignments in manifest and intermodal service too. CSX received five orders from GE, numbers 1-30 (delivered in 1996), numbers 31-115 (delivered in 1995), numbers 391-556 (delivered between 1999 and 2002), numbers 557-599 (delivered between 2002 and 2003), and 5101-5122 (delivered 2003).
