Republic Locomotive Works (RLW)

• Originally, Republic was a rebuilder. In the late 1980's, they planned to enter the new locomotive market using Caterpillar engines, and produced a few orders of CAT-powered RL2000's (?) for SEPTA and Cogentrix. Then few years ago, they apparently dumped CAT and signed on with Detroit Diesel. They currently have a Detriot-powered demonstrator running around (see recent issues of Extra 2200 South)

Peoria Locomotive Works (PLW)

• A few years ago, they produced a Caterpillar-powered switcher for demonstration. I don't know if they've received any orders as yet.
