DASH
8-40CM
The "Draper Traper" |
|
|
| Prototype
Information | | Powered
by a V16 FDL 4000-horsepower prime mover, the main features of this distinctive
design are the four-window North American cab, the cowl-style body and the famous
‘Draper Taper’ cutout behind the cabs (designed by CN’s Assistant
Chief of Motive Power, William L. Draper to provide better reverse visibility
on full-width cowl units). These great-looking locomotives always turn railfan
heads in trains! The
Dash 8-40CM (also known as the C40-8M) was introduced in 1990 with an order of
30 units for Canadian National (2400-2429), classified EF-640a. This was followed
by a further 25 units (2430-2454) in 1992, classified EF-640b. |
