HO GE ES44AC - DCC & Sound - Canadian Pacific St. John Express #8781 ETA: June 2023 Detailed Information CP FEATURES: No engine compartment side grab irons Raised radiator grills Raised heat exchanger Canadian Pacific placed eight orders for ES44AC locomotives spanning a decade of production. Early production units featured a distinct cab and nose profile as well as radiator, intake, and hood door variations. These features changed in later productions. The CP units in this offering represents features from the mid- production. While the cab, nose, and radiator intakes are the same as early units, the long hood doors and other features have evolved into what is found on late production units.
