a CSX C44-9W looks like a C40-8W externally with only a few small detail differences. They also share the shorter C40-8W length. There is no easy way to simply transform a longer and very different AC6000 or AC4400 (whichever you really meant) into the CSX version of the C44-9W.

No, pretty distinct differences between it and a dash 9.... First, have you seen a Dash 9, I think that would be a better question.

The CSX Dash-9s are pre production models if I recall and for the most part use a majority of Dash 8 parts on the external side.

Not sure on the pre-production info, but it is true they use a majority of Dash 8 parts. In fact, I don't think CSX has any actual C44-9W's (Ehh, don't quote me on that though). In seeing a C40-9W, it looked exactly like a C40-8W which I mistook it for before finding out later it was a C40-9W. Are there any actual visual differences between the two? I would be interested in knowing so I can consider myself more knowledgeable on that.
