I always see people say the names of modern GE diesels differently, And i'm curious as to which way is correct.
When i look at actual sources ( books, cab sides, and some websites) I see the locomotive listed as, for example, B40-8, or C44-9W.
However, Many people here, and some books, would call the same locomotive a Dash-8 40B, or a Dash-9 44CW.
I would think that what it says on the Cab is right, but I'm curious where the other name came from.
