The DDA-40X was the only diesel EVER to use 4-axle trucks. A diesel this massive will never be built again. Too bad GEVO technology wasn't available back then because it very probably would have extended the DDA-40X's operable life span considerably.

I sure loved those things. Back when big was better.

Actually Ron, the DD35 and DD35A also ran on four axle trucks. The DDA-40X was the direct descendant of these.
