ES40DC 9974

I saw new GE ES40DC in fresh Horsehead paint today with EMD SD40-2 3313 in the Morrisville, Pennsylvania Yard today. They were switching in the yard. Odd to see a brand new engine with one of the oldest on the NS Roster together.

NS 9974 is from the last order of C40-9W's.

Thanks. I knew that it was a C40-9W. I don't what I was thinking.

What you saw was probably a GE ES40DC. The first 15 pre production units originally where shipped from GE with the 9900 road series numbers. These had to be renumbered
