EMD GT38ACe

The EMD GT38ACe, known in Indonesia as the CC205, is a diesel-electric locomotive built by Electro-Motive Diesel for PT Kereta Api Indonesia, which uses it on coal trains in South Sumatra to replace the ageing EMD G26 (CC202) units. After an auction in 2011 EMD won the contract for a more powerful AC-traction locomotive, and the first six arrived that year. Later batches followed in 2013, five bonus units in 2014 as compensation for late delivery, and 36 in 2021, bringing the fleet past 90. The first batch was built at the EMD plant in London, Ontario, and later ones at Muncie, Indiana. The locomotive uses the EMD 710G3 engine with electronic fuel injection, meets EPA Tier 2 emission rules, has an EM2000 cab computer and an automatic engine start-stop system, and has a maximum speed of 80 km/h. Two coupled units can haul 50 to 60 coal hoppers.
