BNSF 1212 at Alstom Ogden Works Calgary

I am currently in Calgary, Canada for Christmas from the UK and whilst sat opposite the Alstom Ogden works I noticed this unit being taken out of the workshop and they seemed to be testing it. I cannot post a picture from here but will do when I get back to the UK on the 30th.
The unit is in fresh BNSF colours and the cab is cut back and has no windows. It is numbered 1212. Does anyone know what it is. Sorry if details are a bit vague. The engine was running or appeared to be and it moved under its own power albeit not far as most of the time it was pulled with a CP unit.

It is the third of 5 Railpower Green Goat GG20B locomotives. The mini cab hosts remote control equipment where the engineer is on the ground.
1210 was completed on October 31st from a former ATSF GP7

I have posted a picture of it when it was moved to Alyth Diesel Depot.
