The GE DASH 9 Series (built from 1991 to 2004) replaced the earlier DASH 8 series and featured numerous electronic improvements that enhanced overall performance and reliability. With these enhancements, the DASH 9 series was well-liked by the railroads and as a result, quickly became one of the most common locomotive types in the United States. Most are still in service today.

The Rivet Counter series DASH-9 continues to set new standards for railroad, road number and era-specific features, factory-applied detail parts, lighting effects, and sound in N Scale.
