The GE AC4400CW, sometimes referred as "AC44CW", is a 4,400 horsepower (3,300 kW) diesel-electric locomotive that was built by GE Transportation Systems between 1993 and 2004. It is similar to the Dash 9-44CW , but uses AC traction motors instead of DC, with a separate inverter per motor.
The railroad continued this practice until its merger with the Burlington Northern Railroad in 1995, and the new railroad, Burlington Northern-Santa Fe (later BNSF Railway) furthered the practice. Introduced during the Dash 8's later years were split-cooling in the radiators and electronic displays for the crews (instead of analogue gauges).
This version of the Dash 9 was manufactured between January and March 1995. All 125 examples of this model are owned by the Norfolk Southern Railway.. The C40-9 is the only model in the Dash 9 Series to feature the standard cab design.

BNSF Railway is the launch customer for this model, ordering an initial batch of 25 units numbered 6600–6624. [7] The ES44C4 was initially only built for BNSF. The 4200s and units 7921-7999 are certified as Tier 4 Credit units, while the others are Tier 2 or Tier 3.
Union Pacific, CSX, and CPKC have rebuilt several hundred AC4400CW into AC4400CWM models. The AC44C4M is a rebuild similar to the AC44C6M, but AC44C4M locomotives feature 4 traction motors and an A1A-A1A configuration rather than the AC44C6M's 6-traction motors in a C-C configuration. This is similar to the ES44C4 and ET44C4 that BNSF also ...
