I personally think that Bombardier-Alsthom might be the best hope for EMD. They have a major stake in the export and international market, where EMD is still the market leader. Bombardier has also been quite successful in competing in markets such as commercial aircraft,where it faces competition from much larger manufacturers. And before anyone brings it up,you can't really claim that Bombardier is at fault for the failure of MLW products,the railroads were already turning their backs on ALCO designs.I also think that the Canadian Government has a strong stake in finding a buyer for both GMLG/EMD and GM Defense(also Canadian based,makes the US Army's new light armored vehicles). <br /> The next best hope is probably WABTEC/MPI, but keep in mind that Boise Locomotive's parent company is also a major component supplier to GE. <br /> Caterpillar could be a wild card,they do make the engines for the GP15D and GP20D.
