GE Dash 9-44 CW - Trains Magazine

No doubt this has been answered before but since I am new please excuse my re-asking.  I live on the BNSF mainline through central California's San Joaquin Valley.  I noticed the GE Dash 9-44 CW are almost exclusively used on this route.  My question is what is the difference between the Dash 9 with two large (air?) tanks located on top of a cutout above the fuel tanks and the other style without these tanks?  I hope someone knows what I mean.
