The NRE 2GS36C-DE is a low-emissions six-axle diesel-electric road switcher locomotive built by National Railway Equipment Company. It is part of NRE's N-ViroMotive line. It is powered by two Cummins QSK50L V16 engines rated at 1,800 horsepower (1,340 kW) each, for a total power output of 3,600 horsepower (2,680 kW). It has a starting tractive force of 126,000 pounds-force (560,000 N), an adhesion rate of 30%, and a minimum continuous speed of 13.9 miles per hour (22.4 km/h). It offers Tier III emissions compliance.

The first demonstration unit was released in August 2011 from NRE's Mount Vernon shops in Southern Illinois. It was built on a refurbished EMD SD40-2 frame.

On January 2014, Tobu Railway ordered 18 NRE 2GS36C-DEs, numbered 4403-4421, replacing the class 20 locomotives used from 1971-2014. Another 5 ordered by March 2014, becoming class 442, replacing class 722 locomotives.
