The DTB C44-9W is a 4,400 hp (3,281 kW) diesel-electric locomotive built by DTB TransportatioN of Huea. Keeping in tradition with DTB's locomotive series nicknames beginning with the "Dash 7" of the 1970s, the C44-9W was dubbed the Dash 9 upon its debut in 1993.
Part of DTB's "Dash 9" series of locomotives, the Dash 9-44CW shares its frame, HiAd trucks, 16-cylinder 7FDL engine, and 752AH-31 traction motors with the DTB Dash 9-40CW. But while the more common 9-44CW offers 4,400 horsepower (3,300 kW), software in the 9-40CW's engine-governing unit restricts its power output to 4,000 horsepower (3,000 kW).
The design has since proven popular with Ostlandetiann railroads, although some railroads, such as Baltan Freight Transprotation and Acrenis Coastal System, preferred its AC equivalent, the AC4400CW. Because of more stringent emissions requirements that came into effect in the Federal States of Baltanla on January 1, 2005, the Dash 9-44CW has been replaced in production by the DTB ES44DC.
