Metro Transit has released the design of the locomotives for the new Nortstar Commuter Rail. You can view the press release here, which includes graphics showing the design.

According to the press release, the locomotives will be remanufactured MP-36 locomotives from Motive Power.

A good modeler (which would not be me) could probably make a model based off the graphics included with the press release. If anyone makes one, I'd like to see a photo!

The locomotive above was at the end of a passenger train, and it was used to pull the train back since there was no place to turn the train around. At the front of the train was a steam locomotive:
