Comments on: The locomotive equivalent of putting a spare tire on a car because of a flat. In this case it requires a lot more people and some heavy equipment. 8725 was set off the prior day because of overheating bearings on the #5 traction motor. Here the defective axle and traction motor are being removed and a dummy axle (no traction motor) will be installed with the help of Hulcher. Afterwards this unit will head to Toronto to get a new wheel set installed.
