Actually, UP chooses to designate them C45ACCTE. They are still ES44AC's. An AC4400CW on UP is called a C44AC and in some cases, C44ACCTE. Using this designation system, an ES44AC could also be called a C44AC. To eliminate any confusion between the two models, UP chose to add a 5 in the designation.

QUOTE: Originally posted by darth9x9 I can speak from experience that anyone that fouls the tracks must get a track warrant before doing so. Last summer I bought a CPL from CSX. I had a crane truck pull up parallel to the tracks on the service road to pick it up. We wanted to rotate the mast 180 degrees so it could be better secured to the flat bed of the 14 ton crane truck. We had to wait 45 minutes to get clearance just to swing the mast over the tracks 180 degrees. At $90 an hour, I was getting quite upset waiting for CSX to give us clearance.
QUOTE: Originally posted by miniwyo Also What is involved with tearing down anr rebuilding a bridge that crosses the rails, does the construction company doing the project have to get a track warrant between trains to do the work?
