Can't speak about the new GE units, but my experience concerning acceleration has been the opposite. Back in the early 1980's I attended college in Pittsburgh. I had to take a few classes at Penn State McKeesport campus, so I took the commuter rail from downtown out to McKeesport. The trains had their own HEP, so they were push/pulled by Chessie freight units. Usually GP40-2s got the assignment, but they also used GE B30s. Now the Geeps were no slouch in acceleration, but the B30s were much quicker in getting the train up to speed. Even the engineers would comment on the GEs acceleration, saying how easy it was to make up time if they got behind schedule. I got friendly with some of the engineers and often rode in the cab. The B30s would pull much higher amps then the Geeps. Like I said, I don't know about the newer units, but that is my 2 cents worth.
