Introduced in the late 1980s, this 4,000 hp locomotive rode on two three-axle trucks (C-C) and led freight trains on several Class I railroads and shortlines across the U.S. and Canada.

It features a five-pole skew-wound motor with dual flywheels, directional LED lighting, working front and rear ditch lights (per prototype), and a dual-mode ESU LokSound V5 sound and DCC decoder with Full Throttle effects, ready to run on both DCC and DC (analog) layouts.
