## Description

The ES (Evolution Series) of locomotives were designed to meet the U. S. EPA's Tier 2 locomotive emissions standards that took effect in 2005. With a newly designed "GEVO-12" 12 cylinder engine, these AC traction locomotives have the same 4, 400 horsepower as the 16 cylinder AC4400CW but produce fewer emissions and have greater fuel economy. Possibly their most identifiable trait is their “oversized” radiator, courtesy of a specially designed air-to-air dual fan heat exchanger. The BNSF railroad owns and operates more than 50, 000 miles of track, with their service area spanning most of the western United States, and uses ES44AC locomotives in a number of services including running coal out of the Powder River Basin which provides the United States with roughly 40% of its coal.

## Features

- Smooth running mechnism with all-wheel electrical pickup.
- Directional headlight with illuminated numberboards.
- DCC Friendly mechanism, drop in compatible with TCS and Digitrax DCC decoders
