That is not a bad boy. It is a DCC-Equipped EMD DD40AX Centennial.

I saw a documentary of the beast being moved to a museum some time ago. that is a big bad boy  ;D ;D ;D. I have a n scale version of the beast that i bought after finding it tucked away in the store shelf ( I think it was forgotten and pushed back on the shelf )
