loco's. Here are some links to show how loco's similar to QR's=20
Clyde's would compare to American standard gauge loco's. Latin=20
American Logistics (ALL in Spanish ) run on Brazil's metre gauge=20
lines using G22's, similar to QR 2400's but on 4 axles, and GT22's=20
similar to QR 2300's and a tunnel motor design, up to a GT26CU-2,=20
similar to QR's 2100's but turbo'd so I presume pumping out 3000hp (=20
also a tunnel design ) as well as a few older GE U models. For cheap=20
newer power, they have imported secondhand US standard gauge loco's=20
and unlike their counterparts in the north who convert them to 8 axle=20
metre gauge loco's, these blokes are simply putting narrow gauge=20
bogie's under them so must be running to 26 tonne axle loading. The=20
loco's tower over the NG loco's as well as NG rollingstock. I can=20=20
see possibilities for similar things here on certain lines if third=20
parties wanted to get into

seem an issue either!
