- On February 10th 2022, I watched a crew from RJ Corman railroad Services replace 5 traction motors with idler axles. Here is one of them being replaced. The crew worked hard, having to cut several of the bolds holding the traction motors out with a torch, and even having to make some special tooling to get the job done. I love watching this process, and I am thankful that the guys from RJC don't seem to mind me watching.

I Never get tired of watching these crews do they’re thing….
Very interesting aspect of the railroad world we never get to see!! Thank you for sharing this!
R.J. CORMAN,,, RULES THE RAILROAD REPAIR WORLD ! 💯👍🤠
Thanks for posting! I am currently trying to replace the motor on my emd sd70 out in the driveway and this video helped a lot. Cheers!
Crazy that the sideboom on the left is 50+ years old and still getting it done!
Sorry for such a late response on this, but I talked with the guy in charge of this crew on this day. He said his father works for Corman and runs a crew up in Ohio I believe. He said one of these two machines was one that his father used when this guy was a kid. With proper maintenance and care those side booms will go forever, plus they can be rebuilt if needed.
RJ Corman uses the best equipment! And Caterpillar makes the best equipment 👍👍👍!
Very beautiful SD40-2 .

Amazing video
Definitely a good place to wear your steel-toed boots.
Sometimes it takes really strong people to repair stuff!
Yeah, it's not like replacing wheel bearings on a Honda Accord, it is?
Wish i was there 😢
