QUOTE: Originally posted by Gluefinger Dash 9s and Dash 8s have a couple of differences- for one is the trucks. Dash 8 trucks more resemble SD40-2-style trucks, while Dash 9s have Hi-Adhesion trucks that are a bit more rounded.

QUOTE: Originally posted by Gluefinger Are there Dash 8s with Hi-Ad trucks, or Dash 9s without them?
QUOTE: Originally posted by Guilford350 CSX's C44-9W's, 9000-9053, have Dash-8 trucks. 9000-9002 were built on the shorter Dash-8 frame while the rest had the longer Dash-9 frame.

QUOTE: Originally posted by smalling_60626 Thank you, cprs8622, for asking about AC and DC -- and thanks to you, too, CSXrules4eva, for your great explanation. After spending several days at Rochelle, IL, I was quite curious about the AC/DC dichotomy myself. This is my second post and I've been a member only a few days. I don't know how to start my own thread yet, and don't know how interventionist any Site Monitoring person at kalmbach might be-- Forgive me if I ask who manufactures loco's in the USA alongside Electro-Motive (EMD) and GE? cprs, flame me off if you feel I'm stepping on yr toes; in which case some of you more experienced folk might help me start my own newbie-needs-answers Topic. smalling_60626
