Why are GE locomotives better than EMD?

As with most things in life, there can be more than one point of view; you say the glass is half empty, and I say the glass is half full. I do not make any claim that I am an expert on all elements of railroading ( even though I do know the difference in the INDEPENDENT brake and the automatic one ). However, like many railfans, I have access to several sources within the UP, with my brother being one of the most accessible and perhaps one of the most knowledgeable. He was a member of the UP redesign team for both GE and EMD North American cabs, an honor that also reflects his knowledge with respect to his career choice, and was based on his knowledge of what these units do in the real world. I do not say that his word is the final answer, but offer his experiences in the hope of broadening the forum topic, as we all should be trying to do here, that we may all become more knowledgeable in the hobby that we pursue. The human element is one of the areas that makes our hobby great, and allows me as a person to respect your opinion with regard to your reply.
