Before I spill my EMD bias, let me just say that GE's are more prevalent than they used to be. But out here in Nebraska, you will see UP have different roles for each brand. Come out here to Nebraska and you'll see mainly GE widecabs on UP coal and manifest freights. Yes, they do a good job, but God they are UGLY!! UP usually uses the EMD 70's and 90's on the stack and pig trains. Nothing like seeing and hearing a UP pig train with three or four EMD's tear through the small towns along the main line at 70 per. For all the folks from back east, the UP main through Nebraska is something to behold, two and three tracks wide, sometimes four, and 130 to 150 trains daily. It is not uncommon to stop at a grade crossing out in the country west of Kearney and have THREE trains cross in front of you AT THE SAME TIME. If you ever get a chance to come out here to railfan the UP through Nebraska, you wll be awestruck at how much freight moves on UP rails, and how fast the pig and stack trains operate. I've seen trains in numerous locations around the United States, and nothing is quite like the UP through Nebraska.
