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:
“It is very rare that you meet with obstacles in this world which the humblest man has not faculties to surmount. It is true we may come to a perpendicular precipice, but we need not jump off, nor run our heads against it. A man may jump down his own cellar stairs, or dash his brains out against his chimney, if he is mad.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
