Bean counters........................................................... <br /> <br /> <br />I understand business, I'm a student in a business college. I am almost done with school, at that time I hope to be lucky and get a job with a Rail-road, something I would really enjoy working for. Until then I know nothing about what goes on with the finance and accounting of Locomotives and operating expenses (rail, maintainence, fuel). I think that Class 1 railroads and all railroads for that matter, prefer a GE to an EMD, and some may not, but when it comes down to the wire, when there is a load to be pulled from here to there, and when you take account of what locomotives operate the most, that is the most in use pushing and pulling these loads, it is General Electric. EMD may have the guns, but GE got the #s. Results are results from this point, not something difficult to understand. <br /> <br />Also, the 2 GEs for the price of 1 EMD is just not real, you will never get me to believe that one, now maybe if your talkin to of those trashed C36-7s, 2 of them for one EMD, then alright, but if your talkin say 2 D9-40CWs for the price of one SD70M in NSs case, then I say to you, get real.
