The traction motors are a single reduction type so a good chance they are GE764 which is good.
This
Trains magazine article from 2018 said
"The MP2000NG locomotives will feature 2,000 horsepower CAT engines with General Electric 764 traction motors capable of pulling a loaded, eight-car train along the 45-mile route between Durango and Silverton. "

Now we know why the four ALCo locomotives from Alaska were purchased.
The two abandoned MP2000NG locomotives were originally Penn Central GP40s, so their frames and some other components are probably older than the D&SNG's former WP&Y diesels.
