BNSF Railway #514 (Wabtec Rebuild, orange, black, Wedge Logo) The GE DASH 8-40B Locomotives Design and Features Built by General Electric (GE) in the late 1980s, the DASH 8-40B diesel locomotives were notable for their high horsepower and unique design. One of the distinguishing features was their dynamic brake gear, which was located along the roofline between the cab and engine compartment. The ventilation for these brakes was provided by large roof-top grilles, giving them a distinctive appearance. Production Numbers A total of 150 units of the DASH 8-40B locomotives were built by GE. These units were delivered to various railroads across North America, where they played a significant role in freight transportation. Technological Advancements The DASH 8-40B locomotives were equipped with advanced microprocessor control systems, which were a significant leap forward at the time. These systems allowed for better traction control, fuel efficiency, and overall operational reliability.
