[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Sterling1</i> <br /><br />How many C40-9s did NS purchase? I am not talking about the ones with the wide cab.

I believe they are the only Dash-9 units with the air conditioner mounted on the roof. <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Sterling1</i> <br /><br />How many B39-8E and B39-8 (if any) were built? How many survive?[/quote] <br />There were only 3 B39-8's built in 1984 as demonstrators and featured the rounded, Dash-7 like cab. 145 B39-8E units were produced from 1984-1988 and featured the common Dash-8 style cab. BN used 102 LMX B39-8E's and SP had 40 units. Many B39-8E's still serve in lease fleets and on various shortlines.
