That new GE C21EMP is just an outgrowth of our old DX the U-26C and is now known as C26-MMI.

Is probably too long for the clearances on sharp curves on the D&S. Those units have a mcs of 38Km/h and run 65mph so again not suited. Overall length of the unit would be an issue to be run arsefirst as one unit in D&S country would require two man crewing.

The U10B would be more suitable with the shorter length unit with dozer/ truck engines that Fitters seem to be able to fix more easily vs the mainline loco type primemovers which are very specialist.
