Description
General Electric introduced the ES44AC in 2005 as the AC-traction member of its Evolution Series, the first North American road locomotive built to meet EPA Tier 3 emissions standards. Powered by the 12-cylinder GEVO prime mover producing 4,400 hp, the ES44AC quickly became the backbone of heavy-haul fleets across the continent, and thousands remain in daily service hauling coal, grain, intermodal and manifest freight.
This Walthers Mainline HO scale ES44AC Tier 3 models Florida East Coast's America250 commemorative unit #250 "Freedom 250" — lettered for parent company Grupo México (GMXT 250) in a bold red, white and blue stars-and-stripes scheme with FREEDOM 250 lettering along the long hood, a patriotic one-of-a-kind unit on the Jacksonville–Miami main line.
