TCRX SW8 52

Built in June of 1951 for the US Army as USAX 2038. This SW8, Class D-SD-8, was built by Electro-Motive in La Grange, IL. It was sold to TCRM in 1994, and repainted by volunteers two years later.

The switcher’s current identity pays homage to the original TCRy’s diesel switchers, ALCo HH660 No. 50, and ALCo S1 No. 51.
