SD-60, 70, and 75. "MAC" or otherwise, are what the Ford "Pinto" was to the auto industry. In my own opinion, the last locomotive that EMD built that was worth a damned, was the SD-40-2. Give me a GE unit anyday! I know I'll get home for supper then. Ever since they sent production up to Canada, quality has gone down the crapper! You want examples? just look at the record for SD-50,s through '90MACS. The first 6 months or so, of production all they did was turn out "lemons". The GP-50 was a shining example of this. While General Motors was trimming costs, General Electric was developing a better locomotive. So, here we are, "David has slain Goliath". Not to mention the fact that GE locos are still built in the U.S., While "GMD" is across our northern border, where cheap labor, coupled with the favorable currency exchange rate, gives the stockholders of GM a BIG incentive to ship jobs out of our country. Yea, these Canadian "EMD's" are really lemons. Why do you think every savvy railroad is going with GE.?
