EMD GT26MC

The EMD GT26MC was a model of diesel-electric locomotive made by Electro-Motive Diesel. It was one of the earliest South African narrow gauge export orders for the GT26 Series: South African Railways bought custom units with a lightweight frame one foot shorter than the standard GT26 frame and six-axle interlinked trucks, with Universal traction motors for 1,067 millimetre track, and production ran from August 1971 to August 1982. America Latina Logistica bought the locomotives from Spoornet of South Africa in 1999, after they were first imported to Brazil to be leased; five GT26MC were rented to the FCA railway in 1998 together with ten GT18MC. They carried Spoornet Class 34 numbers and were fitted for one metre gauge in Brazil. From March 2006 some moved to ALL in Argentina and were regauged to 1,435 millimetres, and three are there now.
