This is really why we're all out here today - it's one of EMD's new SD70ACe-P4 locomotives. These locomotives have only four powered axles, with the two axles nearest the fuel tank being idlers (no motors). My understanding is that these units also have one inverter per axle, unlike production SD70ACes, which have an inverter per truck. They're designed to compete with GE's ES44C4, and you're looking at the first two units actually built as SD70ACe-P4s - EMDX 1211 and EMDX 1212.
