The U20C was powered by the V8 version of the FDL, Bruce. Might be a little under-powered for Cumbres.
The U26C being a V12, the trailing locos Cresting Cumbres are a GMD D^C (G22AR, 1650HP) and two DXC (upgraded D^X), depending on the road number either 3000HP or 3250HP.
An awesome Brute of a locomotive anyhow.
