2004 will become a sad year for all Dash 9 and AC4400 fans!!!!!!!!!! <br /> <br />This year is definitive the last production year for this series (also for EMD´s SD70M and SD70MAC´s). <br /> <br />With the Tier II emissions regulations going into effect on January 1, 2005 both builders must bring this succesful series to an end! <br /> <br />What will bring 2005 ? <br /> <br />GE´s GEVO series will replace the Dash 9 and the AC4400 (the new DC series will become "Dash 10" - NOOOOOOOOOO THAT`S A JOKE!!!! but the DC prototype #2011 is ready at Erie). <br />The GE fans must say goodbye to the ex Cooper Bessemer FDL 16 Turbodiesel - after more than 40 years <br /> <br />And EMD will replace the SD70MAC with the SD70ACe - Is there also a SD70e? <br /> <br />And when I count the Dash 9´s and the AC4400´s together, because they are extreme similar - the AC4400 could be also named "Dash 9 AC". This series will be the most succesful locomotive series ever in the USA with near 5.000 locomotives. <br />With only ten years in production this series beat the SD40 / SD40-2! <br /> <br />I think so!
