The ES40DC is the 4,000 horsepower, direct current traction model of the Evolution Series, built from 2004 to 2008. It replaced the Dash 9-40CW in the General Electric catalogue and, like that model, was delivered exclusively to Norfolk Southern Railway. CSX Transportation's ES44DC units were also given the ES40DC designation in 2009 after being de-rated to 4,000 horsepower. Because high horsepower was in demand on Norfolk Southern, a mandatory repowering turned several of its ES40DC locomotives back into the former ES44DC power rating.
