TIMKEN ROLLER BEARING CO. EMD REPUBLIC LOCOMOTIVE DIESEL #8628 - CANTON, OHIO - APRIL 7, 1987
Switcher Monday is what happens when the "Switcher Sunday" posting is running late, and is way behind. Here we have Timken Roller Bearing #8628, which was one of the EMD's making inroads onto the formerly mostly Alco operation. Tracking down info on this unit has been a puzzler, so about the only thing we know is it's an EMD, probably rebuilt by Republic Locomotive to some kind of new model designaition, under their designations.
