KCS takes first EMD Repower locomotives Kansas City Southern Tuesday said it had accepted two 710ECOT Repower locomotives from LaGrange, Ill.-based Electro-Motive Diesel, Inc., the first of 27 being delivered by EMD. EMD said the order would allow the Class I railroad "to convert a group of tired GP40 and SD40 locomotives into EMD GP22ECO and SD22ECO repower units as well as GP22ECO-M mother/slug combinations--providing the ultimate operating flexibility for the locomotives, which will be deployed in both the Kansas City Southern Railway Co. (KCSR) and Kansas City Southern de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (KCSM) systems." KCS said 11 locomotives will be deployed in the U.S., while 16 would operate in Mexico.
