The design has since proven popular with North American railroads, the Dash 9-44CW shares its frame, Hi-ad trucks, 16-cylinder 7FDL engine, and 752AH-31 traction motors with the GE Dash 9-40CW.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany North American railroads have ordered the C44-9W. They were originally ordered by Chicago \u0026amp; North Western Railway, Santa Fe, BNSF, CSX, Southern Pacific, Canadian National Railway, BC Rail, and Union Pacific Railroad.
