Very cool!

Are the BB45s still running down there?

The new-built locomotives from EMD were DDM45s, SD45s with four axle trucks similar to those on US DD35s, but metre gauge, of course.

As far as I know there have never been any BB45s.

Yes, EFVM have a good fleet of DDM45, but also have 4 BB45-2, rebuilt from former SD45-2 of BNSF. Look one here. Picture from my friend Filipe Foster

By the way, CVRD is planning to rebuilt all DDM45 to BB45 because this model is much more flexible to run on the lines of FCA and EFVM. The rebuilt program is going to start this year!
