What power does a US government agency have to prevent a Canadian Company from shutting down? Are you proposing to use my US tax dollars to pay EMDs Canadian payroll? Should that happen just watch the firestorm it will generate on the news and in the political rhetoric. As for competition there are pleanty of other builders who build locomotives for commuter service or are remanufacturers of locomotives. Either group would have very little trouble making the step to large scale production. Very successful new locomotives have been manufactured using the Catapiller engines. The railroads who tested them rated them as much better than anything EMD or GE offered. They just did not want a third builder to have to stock parts for. Without EMD this issue goes away. And we have not considered any of the non North American builders who are just beginning to make sales here. They have a lot of experience selling in some very competitive and highly regulated markets.
