They don't manufacture then anymore, but still in use because of the good numbers and stupid reliability. I'll snap a photo of one of the block casting dates. I'm pretty sure they are all 30 years old or more now. The blocks that is, internals are obviously newer, and they redesigned the induction system to go to the turbo setup. Oh, and EFI helps too.
Honestly, even though these mp36c's are 2010 model year locomotive's, they are a mix mash of old parts updated with new technology. I had to replace a couple dynamic brake fans for a recall per say, the casting dates on the ones coming out and going back in were in the 1970 range.
Speaking of emissions, next photo idea. Biggest catalytic converter I've seen in person. They are about 2 feet in diameter each smack on top of the exhaust. We have to remove and clean them out on occasion. I'll snag a photo next time I'm playing around on the roof of one.
