These are the latest additions to the RioTinto fleet, following
continued demand for motive power for iron ore haulage.
While they look similar to the earlier Dash-9's, the new locos have the
newer EVO engine, with (AFAIK) reduced fuel consumption.
A first batch of 10 was followed by a later order for 30 more.
