Kato's signature smooth, quiet running and tight tolerances are all here: a five-pole motor with dual flywheels, directional LED headlights, all-wheel drive and pickup, blackened low-profile wheels for Code 55 or larger rail, and Kato's reliable knuckle couplers.

What freight does this prototype pull?The GE ES44AC has been a primary AC-traction freight unit on Class I railroads since 2003 — intermodal, coal, mixed manifest, and unit-train service.
