what is it?

The EMD SD32ECO is a 3,150 hp (2,350 kW) C-C diesel-electric locomotive rebuilt by Electro-Motive Diesel (EMD). It is primarily the application of a conversion kit to an existing EMD SD60 or EMD SD45-2-type locomotive. This involves replacing the existing 710G3A V16 prime mover with an EPA Tier-II-compliant 710G3A-T2 turbocharged V12 engine, with electronic fuel injection.
