About $2 million, but there are lots of variables, even for the same basic model. The price is less per unit for a larger order, but more per unit if you want a lot of optional items.
Also, keep in mind that some locomotives are sold with either extended warranties and/or service contracts, so all of that cost is not just the hardware, but also X number of years of maintenance. The total price may also include some spare/replacement parts in some contracts.
