Martin Niklas writes: The G26CW-2 locos(painted green/yellow)of the Moroccon State railways are mostly used for heavy switching(phosphate trains) while the more powerful GT26CW-2's are working mainline passenger and freight duties alike.
The maintenance base for all ONCF GM locos is located in Oujda, where all G26CW-2's, GT26CW-2s and the SW1001 switchers are maintained and rebuilt.
