The Athearn DDA40 was a vision of what the next generation double diesels would look like and be. There is some debate as to whether or not this engine was actually made.Some rumors say it was made as a shell with no prime movers or electrics and was on display for a while. Union Pacific became interested in upgrading their fleet and with the 100th anniversary coming quickly, wanted something other than what was being shone. They wanted a wide cab and the Centennials were a result. EMD was rushed for the first DDA40X's to go out and the shell that was to become a DD40 became the parts for the DDA40X of UP Yes , The DDA40X was a GM - EMD experiment . Athearn has put out thousands of these engines and I thought that after owning one 30 years or so ago it would be fun to be drivable in Train Simulator . This model is the result .
