Train fans... made in RSK?
Down by the harbor they had a new bio diesel train and the old 3751 (billed as the first train to pull out of Los Angeles Union Station) on display.
On one of the boggies (SP?) of the new train was cast made in RSK... where is RSK?  Some vagrant that was standing around   Restored red car:   New bio-diesel train:   More of 3751:

Looks like "RSA" - that typically refers to the Republic of South Africa.
FWIW. Best, Kurt |

RSA... DOH!
Okay so reading comprehension isn't my strong suite. Found it interesting that Timken was on both the hubs of the new and old train.  Hard to see but it is there:
