SD40-2 NREX and FURX in Argentina ( South America)

[arielemd]

Hi all

These are stories from Argentina, where they arrived four locotoras SD40-2, belonging to NREX ( #8105,#7929,#7940,#7924), which are headed for the locomotive repair shops Materfer which NREC's partner in Argentina. It is said that you think make Gernset or GT26 at four locomotives and sell them to local railways.

The locomotives in question are:

NREX # 8105 & #7929

Well, we finally have the fifth SD40-2, ex FURX # 7218. This locomotive came in October 2011, and at first thought it would go to workshops for repair and Materfer sold to Vale, a mining railway, but it turned out to be so. Today their status and future is a mystery.
