    Not looking well, even not looking quite herself... that one was repowered with an EMD engine (probably from an E-unit), along with an EMD switcher hood!

    Built by Alco, rebuilt with EMD, entrails wide open at Republic... no wonder she looks out of sorts!:confused:

    You have a fine eye for details Mike. I hadn't noticed any of that -- thanks!

    October 1978 in a sea of Kudzu at Knoxville, TN. L&N C-420 1334 is former Monon 517. You can tell former Monon units by the nose-mounted bell. Trivia: The Monon also had two high-hood C-420s housing steam generators; both went to the L&N.
