These Evolution Series locomotives are equipped with AC traction motors and are powered by a newly designed GEVO12 12 cylinder engine that produces the same power as the 16 cylinder AC4400CW, but with fewer emissions and greater fuel economy. It also carries a redesigned airtoair dualfan heat exchanger, which gives it its distinct oversized radiator a common spotting feature for these new locomotives. While the AC version has proven to be the overall most popular iteration of the GEVO, quite a few railroads elected to use the DC versions of these engines, including the BNSF Railway, Canadian National, and CSX. The C4 is a variant of the ES44AC, using an A1AA1A wheel arrangement with an idler axle in the center of each truck vs. the allwheel power of its ES44AC brethren. This gives the engines the stability benefits of a sixaxle truck while reducing the number of traction motors from 6 to 4. Features.
