These Evolution Series locomotives are equipped with AC traction motors and are powered by a newly designed \"GEVO-12\" 12 cylinder engine that produces the same power as the 16 cylinder AC4400CW, but with fewer emissions and greater fuel economy. It also carries a redesigned air-to-air dual-fan heat exchanger, which gives it its distinct \"oversized\" radiator; a common spotting feature for these new locomotives.    ES44DC: While the AC version has proven to be the overall most popular iteration of the \"GEVO\", quite a few railroads elected to use the DC versions of these engines, including the BNSF Railway, Canadian National, and CSX.    ES44C4: The C4 is a variant of the ES44AC, using an A1A-A1A wheel arrangement with an idler axle in the center of each truck vs. the all-wheel power of its ES44AC brethren. This gives the engines the stability benefits of a six axle truck while reducing the number of traction motors from 6 to 4.    Model Features:    Multiple body styles to reflect different \"as delivered\" railroad specifications  Powerful five-pole KATO motor with dual brass flywheels  Directional Headlight and illuminated, preprinted numberboards  Illuminated ditch lights  Kato magnetic knuckle coupler","brand":"Eds Hobby Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52792942461209,"sku":"KAT1768965","price":120.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7467\/6505\/files\/UP-5395-01__25885.webp?v=1783521784","url":"https:\/\/edshobby.com\/products\/kato-176-8965-n-ge-es44ac-union-pacific","provider":"Eds Hobby Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
