The GE C36-7 is a six-axle diesel-electric locomotive built for freight service by GE Transportation Systems, GE do Brasil and A Goninan & Co. between 1978 and 1989. The model was developed as an updated version of the GE U36C and is powered by a 16-cylinder GE FDL-series prime mover. Externally, it is similar to the GE C30-7, but can be distinguished by its larger air intakes beneath the radiator section. On later-built units, the dynamic brake resistor grids are housed in a raised compartment immediately behind the cab. C36-7 locomotives were produced with either 3,600 or 3,750 hp power ratings, depending on customer specifications.
