Likely I am the minority, but I will not be sad to see EMD go. EMD/GM has used too many questionable business tactics and has been too heavy handed over the years. Look up the Justice Department's investigation into GM in the 1960's, a number of EMD violation of accepted business practices were cited along with the many cited in the automobile business. Also look at the Baldwin repair parts business in the 1980's. EMD supplied Baldwin repair parts at a loss to force the remnant of Baldwin supplying parts out of business. Then wtih Baldwin out of the way, EMD stopped supplying renewal parts for Baldwins also. Ethical business practice? I think not. Just another way to try to force the railroads to purchase locomotives that they might not otherwise purchase.
