Overview:
The heritage units keep coming! This latest release of our ES44AC commemorates special locomotives on BNSF and Canadian National. Both railroads have long and proud histories that include some of the most famous names in railroading. It's a winwin as these roads honor their past and look to the future. The CN prototypes are painted on the newer ET44AC model, but we've received so many requests for these paint schemes we decided to release them now on the similar ES44AC. In addition to these heritage and anniversary units, we are proud to offer the CN Veterans locomotives as well as a pair of US Armed Forces locomotives of our own creation. Call your dealer and order your piece of history today!
