BNSF 5725 • Cajon Pass CA • 04/30/24

            Constructed from September 2003 through January 2004, General Electric built 30 AC4400CWT2 diesels for the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway (BNSF 5718-5747).  Other railroads that received this model were Norfolk Southern (fifteen units, numbered 9900-9914, although most were delivered in the number series 7500-7514) and Union Pacific (five numbered 5695-5699).  These fifty locomotives were experimental GEVOs built for testing on these railroads.  Both internally and externally, these are (very early) ES44AC locomotives – note the thicker radiator sections with two angles of grilles underneath, for example.      

As the model AC4400CWT2 is a mouthful (keyboardful?), BNSF calls these AC4400EV locomotives.  However, due to the six-character limit in their computer system, they are also known as AC44EV.  And as if this were not all confusing enough, it gets more confusing, as the railway applied AC4400CW to their sills, and GE even supplied replacement builder’s stickers listing them as such as well.  

BNSF 5725, built in September 2003, is seen here on BNSF train Z-SBDWSP1-30A (Priority UPS-LTL Intermodal; San Bernardino CA to Willow Springs IL), still adorned with its original paint from before the railway became an acronym rather than a name.  (Cajon Pass, California – April 30, 2024)
