Anyone know what exactly an EMD D78-TR is?
How does it differ from a normal D78 traction motor?

EMD normally uses TR in a traction motor designation to mean tapered roller bearings for the motor support bearings on the axle as opposed to the oil-lubricated plain bearings.

What would be the difference between a D78 TR and D78 BTR motor?

Also, does EMD still manufacture these?

Hello everyone,
can anyone provide technical parameters of the d77 and d78 motors, in order to compare both.
thank you in advance
