Is this just the C40-8 or the C40-8W ? And what road names have they listed?

This is interesting as Bachmann Spectrum is the only company up to now thats made the
C-40-8 either way, Wide Cab, or GE's "Spartan" version....

As of right now it is only the C40-8, as the wide cab version would need different tooling for the walkway and engine compartment height.
