The CIT Group placed two orders late in the production of the AC4400CW. They represent some of the newest features added to the AC4400CW line before its discontinuation. The first group was purposely built with Union Pacific features to whom they were originally leased. The second group was leased to the Canadian Pacific and share spotting features with late model CP AC4400CWs. Both wear CIT Group’s distinctive “Blueberry” scheme with CEFX reporting marks.
