EMD and GE - Why so much anti GE feeling on the list? Light the blue touchpaper and retire

Dear Kevin, <br />I must say that I resent your comments on Alco products. Firstly, they were little more than an inncacurate generaization of Alco products, just as is saying all EMD locomotives are shining examples of the locomoitve craft. Being an Alco fan, I greatly thank jhhtrainsplanes for his comments. Alco built the Big Boy, the FEF, the Challenger, the RS-3 (a locomotive preferred by one railroader who wrote a very good article in a Kalmbach publication, which I am sure you have read), the Century, and the PA (the PA's were not <i>that</i> bad--if theyhad been the railroads would have retired them), and much more. <br /> <br />In addition, I know some people who harbor anti-EMD sentiment as opposed to the sadly prevalent anti-GE sentiment. If railroads dislike GE locomotives so much, then why is the Dash-9 quickly becoming a new kind of pseudo-standard on many lines???? And if GE products are so bad, then why is the Dash-9 on the top ten list of locomotives in the Trains Magazine motive power issue? <br /> <br />Respectfully yours, <br />Daniel
