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 .
