I don't suppose the SD-90's are candidates for the torch yet, but they should be. I don't know if you are old enough to remember when EMD made a good, solid locomotive, but I can tell you first hand, after SD-40-2 production ceased, there was NOTHING in the EMD catalog that was worth fueling up at the racks. The '50's were a disaster, the '60's a disappiontment, and the '70's a curiosity that still has motive power officials spending many sleepless nights. As for the '90's, I can only speculate as to their shortcomings. <br />Give me a good old SD-40-2 anyday. But what do you expect from corporate "streamlining"? What used to be a "benchmark" in American technology, has become a victim of corporate greed. General Motors has taken the same stance with EMD that they have so boldly taken with their auto divisions. (If we can make it cheaper in another country, let's do it). After all, when you are an executive with a six-figure income, who cares about quality? Just move your production facilities to an area with the lowest labor cost, and "to heck with the customer".
