[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by bill mathewson Whoever at Baldwin that designed their diesels to not 'mu' with diesels from any other manufacturer. Was their thinking that all the railroads that purchased the thousands of steamers from them would remain loyal to Baldwin and not purchase new diesels from "upstart" (sic) electic motor companies like GE, or from their arch competitor, Alco, or from that little company called EMD which was only the largest manufacturer of internal combustion engined vehicles in the world and whose FTs proved their worth before WWII ?!? Just think if the Baldwin Sharks could have been mu'd with other diesels-the world would have been a little less boring and a bit prettier to look at to boot.Instead that designer(s) and decision makers doomed a once very proud industrial giant. BILL [/quote] I was puzzled why on earth Baldwin fitted non-standard MU equipment as well. Apparently standard MU equipment was an option, but why they offered any other setup in the first place is beyond me!
