Wanna hear a story of why G.E.'s are peices of junk? <br />Ok, Amtrak train 303, the "Anne Rutlage" from Chicago to St. Louis to Kansas City, MO had G.E. Gennesis P42-9 #65 on the point. Just outside of Chicago their G.E. crapped out on 'em! Their air compressor was malfunctioning, this caused the brakes on the P42-9 to lock up, then the computer system started to freak out, almost shut down the entire locomotive! They kept the computer from shutting the unit down to keep the HEP running for the passengers, then they had to isolate the P42-9. Finally they had to bring in an Ex. Mo-Pac, Union Pacific GP38-2, this unit was on the point almost the entire time from Chicago. The 303 showed up 5 hours late in St. Louis! But, at least it showed up, thanks to an EMD. Once again an EMD comes to the rescue of a G.E. They switched locos at St. Louis, and once again were off to KCMO with an Amtrak unit (another P42) on the point. And that folks, is why G.E.'s are peices of JUNK!![}:)][}:)][;)][banghead][soapbox]
