@ Naveen  That is a mystery. I know NS had their ES44DC engines at 4000HP at one time. The new NS 2015-2016 Locomotive Directory (Withers) has them listed as 4400HP. There is no mention of NS having an ES40DC. Interesting I'll check more. 

Paul, NS had ES40DC's. When GE began making the GEVO NS had ordered them with 4000 hp (the same as a the Dash 9). Apparently they found the fuel, and maintenance costs were lower with the lower hp. As someone mentioned above they've uprated to 4400 hp.
