amen to your comments about GE's. Generally I can't stand 'em, same reasons as you, rough riding, vibrate everything, won't load until friday and it's only monday, generally have so many faults in the computer they are only doing about 3000 hp anyway (if that)! Like you, most engineer's I know (myself included) usually know whether it's a GE or an EMD (although sometimes they play dumb and act like they don't). I change the way I run depending on what type of engines I have, GE's I do a lot more stretch braking to keep 'em loading, EMD's more dynamics because you can load 'em up the way you need to to stretch smoothly back out again. Just my preferences. I really hate having a GE ahead of 1 or more EMD's, 'cause those EMD's will load up long before the GE, and it causes the darn wheelslip system on the GE to get confused so it takes it even longer to load. put an EMD in the lead and you don't have that problem. GE's wheelslip system is actually a lot of their problem. It sucks, EMD's GP60 and GE's B40-8 are roughly equivalent units, but the GP will stick to the rail and pull a lot better than the GE (provided they have sand!!!)
