KATO 176-8962DCC N Scale GE ES44DC GEVO Diesel "Western Maryland" CSX 5327 with DCC

The ES (Evolution Series) of locomotives are built by GE Transportation Systems and designed to meet the U.S. EPAs 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 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.
