A locomotive can still output a transformable voltage if you disconnect the traction motors and instead hook them up to something else. A Diesel-Electric engine really is just a generator riding on top of an electric locomotive.
In this case they took MLW M420W locomotives and just straight hooked them right up to the local grid.
