The EMD GR12 locomotives are a diesel-electric locomotive model that the General Motors Electro-Motive Division designed and built as an export product. The Spanish Wikipedia article records that units were sold to seven countries between 1961 and 1966: Argentina took 60, Chile 41, Colombia 27, Peru and Liberia 7 each, Tunisia 6, Bolivia 3 and South Africa 3. The Argentine units were built for the Ferrocarril Domingo Faustino Sarmiento and now mostly haul freight for private operators, with most of the 60 still in service. In Chile the metre gauge units belong mainly to Ferronor, which uses them in the north to carry iron ore from the Los Colorados mine to Guacolda port, although newer GT46AC locomotives have replaced some of them in the mines.
