GE ES44AC DCC BNSF #5801

The ES (Evolution Series) of locomotives are built by GE
Transportation Systems and designed to meet the U.S. EPA’s
Tier 2 locomotive emissions standards that took effect in 2005.
These Evolution Series locomotives are equipped with AC
traction motors and are powered by a newly designed “GEVO12” 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.
Locomotive Features:
1. Multiple body styles to reflect different “as delivered” railroad specifications
2. Powerful five-pole KATO motor with dual brass flywheels
3. Directional Headlight and illuminated, preprinted numberboards
4. Illuminated ditch lights
5. Kato magnetic knuckle coupler
