Look at the off-center exhaust opening and massive radiator cab. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 02/18/24 12:06 by MP555.

Its designated as a ET44AC in there catalogue. The ET44ACH is a railroad applied moniker like the ES45AC or AC4400CCTE that UP used .

One way to tell is the radiators. The E"T" is the Tier4 huge radiator (3629). E"S" is the smaller evo radiator that's been around for a while (3311). As far as the heavy designation, just gotta look it up. Date: 02/19/24 08:04 Re: New BNSF ES44ACH Units at Denver, CO, 1 Feb Author: ns2557 santafe199 Wrote:

I’m not sure how many are out roaming around…a handful perhaps…but I’ve had a couple on the point in the last 6 months…and they are GREAT locomotives!! GE got this one right! Edited 1 time(s).
