The GE C44-9W, or Dash 9-44CW, is manufactured by General Electric Transportation Systems of Erie, Pennsylvania.

Debuting in 1993, the C44-9Ws proved very popular with many North American railroads placing orders such as Santa Fe and BNSF (the liveries featured in this pack) as well as Chicago & North Western Railway, CSX, Southern pacific, Canadian National Railway, Union Pacific Railroad and BC Rail. The similar Dash 9-40CW was purchased by Norfolk Southern

Due to stricter emissions requirements introduced in 2005, the production of the Dash 9 was replaced by the GE ES44DC.
