How come these locomotives unlike other locomotives down south have the normal Six Axle trucks instead of the B-B trucks that other north american locomotives usually get when the get sent south.

The reason is simple: MRSL is broad gauge (1,600mm), so it can use the original traction motors and C-C trucks. Only the narrow gauge ones have to use BB+BB trucks.
