Eastern Railroad Discussion > NS C40-8W DC to AC ConversionsDate: 04/20/17 07:58 NS C40-8W DC to AC Conversions Author: fatnrat Apparently NS is starting another DC to AC conversion program with C40-8Ws. NS 8356 has been sent to Juniata for AC conversion.

Joe Tarantine Date: 04/20/17 08:54 Re: NS C40-8W DC to AC Conversions Author: BCutter Neither the AltoonaWorks website nor the NSDash9 website have any indication of this. NS Dash 9-40C 8865 is in the process of being rebuilt according to NSDash9. I wonder if someone didn't fat finger the keyboard!
Bruce Date: 04/20/17 09:09 Re: NS C40-8W DC to AC Conversions Author: fatnrat They'll probably both mention the D8-40CW conversions eventually.
Joe Tarantine Date: 04/20/17 09:59 Re: NS C40-8W DC to AC Conversions Author: NYSWSD70M Never say never. Still with all the engineering already done on the Dash 9 to AC4400 program and over 1000 potential cores, I have my doubts about a Dash 8 based program. It is made much more difficult due to the fact that GE never engineered an AC Dash 8.

Posted from iPhone Date: 04/20/17 18:11 Re: NS C40-8W DC to AC Conversions Author: Cliffs619 According to Railfan & Railroad magazine, the rebuild program to make the units into Dash 8.5CW models has been scuttled.
