OK..MAYBE THE SPEED KILLS PEACHES WAS TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT...BUT ANYWAYS..THE POINT I WAS MAKING IS... WHY PULL BALLS TO THE WALL OUT OF THE HOLE... AND FLY DOWN THE RAIL ROAD..ONLY TO HAVE TO SIT TO YARD YOUR TRAIN ANYWAYS, BESIDES...YOU TALK ABOUT THE SHORTCOMINGS OF GE... LETS GET BACK TO THE DYNAMIC BRAKE ON EMD!!! THAT IS THE BIGGEST GRIPE I HAVE ABOUT ALL EMD LOCOMOTIVES... AND EVEN MORE SO ON THE 70 AND 80 MACS... THEY HAVE WEAKER DYNAMIC BRAKE!!! THEY TAKE LONGER TO SLOW DOWN A TRAIN AT 40MPH..YOU HAVE TO START SLOWING DOWN SOONER WITH THEM BECOUSE OF THE WEAKER BRAKING! SO IF YOU ASK ME...A SLOW OUT TO THE HOLE GE, OR A BAT OUT OF HELL I CANT SLOW DOWN AS FAST AS I WANT TO EMD...ILL TAKE THE GE ANY DAY...!!! I WOULD REATHER GO SLOWER AND STOP..THEN TO GO FAST AND NOT!!!!BESIDES..IF YOU REALY WANT TO SPLIT HAIRS ABOUT IT... IT ALL WORKS OUT IN THE END...YOU GET THE TRAIN OVER THE ROAD WITHOUT DERAILING, BRAKEING SOMETHING..OR I HATE TO SAY IT..KILL SOMEONE...I CALL IT A GOOD DAY..NO MATER WHAT POWER YOUR ON!
