Why are GE locomotives better than EMD?

While I have'nt read all the swipes going on in this 'thread', I'm sure that anyone who has actually worked on and around various locomotives will readily tell you that any 4 stroke engine, whether Dash 9's all the way down to the old Alco's I also had the great misfortune to be around, are giant pieces of s*** compared to the 2 stroke EMD's. The SD-70's for instance are far better in the time it takes to 'load-up', get into 'dynamic' braking etc. than any 4 stroke. These are the real issues confronting the real people who have to depend on good equipment to make the job go as easily and quickly as possible. All other debate between 'rail-fans' is just so much 'fodder', and not of any real consequence in the real world....Hommie
