The GE's are good for short term (less than 10 years) but EMD is by far the better long term investment. Hence, GE's are cheaper than EMD's at time of purchase. Pulling wise it is tit for tat. Both of them lie profusely about how much they can pull and it is nothing but sales gimmicks and slick packaging. The mean time between failure number generated by EMD and GE are well massaged as well as those supplied by the railroads. It is extremely political. Reality plays only a small part of it. EMD built some junk with the 50 series and the 90mac but they are no worse than a Dash 7 or Genesis. The recent AC4400's are good but after recently checking out the SD70ACe, GE has better watch out. EMD got this just about right. It is the first locomotive from either builder I have been on since the Dash 2 that from a maintenance standpoint is going to be almost a pleasure since I don't think they will be in the shop much.
