what is that? is it some forgien locomotie?

No, looks very much like a former UP U50/U50C unit.

Open to correction though.

There is a vague similarity, but it's definitely not a U50 or U50C.

Compare it to this picture and you'll see the many differences:

The unit is question is a Lughansk (Russia) made 2TE10M locomotive owned by Kazakhstan.

The unit was sent to Erie to allow GE engineers to develop a repowering program that would see additional units repowered by Kazakh Railways.

The units origional full carbody design was modified by replacing the upper structure of the locomotive with a hood design behind the origional cab. The origional cab was retained.

Pic of unmodified 2TE10M class locomotive can be seen here: http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.p ... 162&nseq=2

Thank you FCP, I didnt think that it was a u50 becuase it had a different cab.

Does anyone know what number it would be in the West Khazakistan Railway roster?
