Ferromex --- Ferrosur

I took some pictures earlier today in Peru Indiana, on the NS main line. One train was hauling a total of 8 Ferrosur and 7 Ferromex GE Locos. Here is my question, what the heck are they??? They look like standard Dash-9's but there side frames on the trucks look like a mixture of a Dash-8 Dash-9 and a SD80 MAC.
Anybody else out there seen these giants? and if so what are they ??
thanks Kurt[?]

Could they be GE Dash-9's using traded in trucks?

Ferrosur and Ferromex AC4400CW's have GE's steerable truck. These types of trucks are also common on CSX AC4400's and AC6000's and on CP AC4400's.
