The AC4400CW is a staple of modern railroading, with 2,834 built. Many are still found on the rails, either in their as delivered configuration, or as a rebuilt locomotive. Many Class- 1, regional, and foreign railroads purchased the AC4400CW.

Cabs were configured with either high or low numberboards, and bodies were produced with several different grill configurations.
