Last March EMD and Transnet announced an agreement to build 50 GT26CU-3 locomotives as a joint venture where the locomotives would be assembled in South Africa and Transnet would furnish at least 40% of the materiel. My question is: where are the 16-645-E3 engines coming from, are they new or remanufactured. They are going to be modern locomotives as far as the EM2000 microprocessor is concerned. There are some EMD personnel monitoring this site that ought to know.
