A GE Dash 8-40CW is a 6-axle diesel-electric locomotive built by GE Transportation Systems from 1990 to 1994. It is part of the GE Dash 8 Series of freight locomotives.
This locomotive model is sometimes referred to as a C40-8W, and is distinguished from the Dash 8-40C by the addition of a "wide" or "safety" cab.
A cowl-bodied version of this locomotive, built only for the Canadian market, was the GE Dash 8-40CM.

Famous quotes containing the word dash:
“The office ... make[s] its incumbent a repair man behind a dyke. No sooner is one leak plugged than it is necessary to dash over and stop another that has broken out. There is no end to it.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
