I don't have anything like this in my roster. What engine is it?:confused:
I spent about 2 hrs. on RailPictures.net & didn't find anything. The big box on the side of the engine thru me off.

MGWSY, The pic you posted has 3 deep vents behind the cab. Larry's has 2. The only difference I see between the pic I posted is that the screen mesh behind the 2 vents seems to be a bit longer than his pic.
 
Well I can def say its not a 8-40CW like the other 2 pictures. And its definitely an AC unit as the high box behind the conductors side is for the AC converters
 


Well, the picture that Mark brought up is the exact engine. Thanks everyone for all of your work. Now, I know what I have to do to get the correct parts.
 
I also noticed that it says NS on the side. NS never had any AC4400CWs. CSX does though. CSX has them numbered #1-494, most if not all are in YN2 and do not have cab signals.

#495-599, and #5101-5122 are AC4400CW-CTEs which are identical to the AC4400CW externally, but have added weight to the frame to increase traction. They are all in YN3 paint and have cab signals.
 
I've got to strip that engine & will probably paint it in my GAP scheme or something else.
