Why do GE AC4400CW's have different trucks on certain models?
I have noticed this different style truck to be more on CP and CSX. Here's a photo of one style: http://rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=1... Here's the "other" style: http://aprjaa.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.as... . I also read on another website that it is a different "phase" truck. Is this true? So what's the difference if there is one? Does it have to do with adhesion?

Unlike a car that has a standard base model, things like large trucks, aircraft, and locomotives can literally be custom ordered. Each purchaser has certain things their studies, and experience have shown to be the best for their particular application. I would guess CSX, and CP prefer to "spec" one certain truck over the others.

Honestly i have no idea.I would say Peedlepup is correct though.The list of options that can be ordered on a locomotive is very extensive.
