At NRE yesterday, I saw a very odd looking locomotive on a flat car…what kind of loco is it?
Heres a pic

It is an export unit of some type.It appears to me to be an ALCo.
It is a GM8 or GM 12 export locomotive…send there for rebuilding.
Argentina or Chile…

It is a GM export loco. Kind of neat to see it like that. I would guess it is narrow gauge.

You might run this past edblysard, in a recent post he showed a picture of a retrucked Union Pacific diesel [ probably a meter gauge job] in South America, and mentioned that they get a number of these rebuilds through the Houston Port both import for rebuild and export, going back. He might be able to shed some light on it.

For anyone that might be curious about a meter gauge Union Pacific Locomotive, here is the edited post from an earlier topic:
*Even though its not a pure Union Pacific owned Locomotive…it still brings to mind the immensity and size of UP power…*http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=105973
