The first release of this model showcased the "as-delivered" version with the "square exhaust" for all roads except Norfolk Southern which never received any units with the square exhaust.

The second release features the GE modified "angled exhaust" version for all roads except Navajo Mine Railroad which received the "square exhaust" for their two units.

The third release features units of mixed types of exhaust hatches. The CN-Veterans #3015, CN-EJ&E, and CN-Illinois Central have square exhaust. All others in the third release have angled exhaust.

As more railroads purchase these and take delivery, Intermountain will make subsequent product announcements.

CPKC

There has been much anticipation for CPKC to release their paint scheme on additional locomotives. Thanksgiving 2024 - many railfans began seeing the new delivery of ET44AC Tier 4 diesels in service. To date these locomotives have been sitting under wraps awaiting to have the tarps lifted. A total of at least 8 road numbers have emerged in revenue service.
