GE C36-7

The GE C36-7 is a 6-axle diesel-electric locomotive built by GE Transportation Systems, GE do Brazil and A Goninan & Co between 1978 and 1989. It is an updated GE U36C with a 16 cylinder FDL engine.

It is externally very similar to the GE C30-7 but it has larger air intakes under the radiators. The dynamic brakes grids of the late units are located in a high box behind the cab.

599 examples of this locomotive were built, 422 of which were exported to the People's Republic of China, where it is designated as ND5.

In 2003 58 ex MP / UP C36-7s were exported to Estonia (Eesti Raudtee) alongside with 19 C30-7s coming from NS / CSX.

GE do Brazil built 15 C36-7s for Ferrocarriles Nacionales de México, numbers 9327–9341.
