IMHO they go to Mongolia: https://www.railwayage.com/mechanical/locomotives/new-emd-power-for-mongolia/

See photo 846950. Mongolia for coal service.

This cab nose is better looking than the American version, IMHO.
|
See https://www.railpictures.net/photo/846950/ they are bound for Mongolia.

Headed for Mongolia, ore export trains to China running on Russian broad gauge.
|
The first customer I could find for these was the Tavan-Tolgoi railway in Mongolia, and the barely-visible logo on the hood looks like it could be theirs.
|
Someone explain to me where the 16 cylinders are under that hood??.

Help! A few months ago (early 2024) I was at a waiting at a crossing in Windsor VA when a Norfolk Southern heading towards Norfolk had several Egyptian Railroad locomotives tied down on heavy duty flatcars like the above pic. Has anyone caught and posted this sighting??

For a new engine you would have thought you would have got a set of wheels!

Andrew, I'm given to understand that railroads will recycle their trucks & wheels from retired units. Maybe that's what is going on in this case. So the trucks & wheels are waiting for this loco's arrival.
