No special bodywork, just serious power. The demise of electric freight because of CR-Amtrak enmity was a mistake. |

Very similar situation with the Virginian EL-C/New Haven EF-4, of which the E44 is actually a derivative design. The EF-4s had a reputation on the New Haven as reliable engines which could pull and pull forever. |
