What new name do you suppose is going to be the future crown name for locomotives on the American railroads? <br /> <br />Honda <br />MIC - "Made In China" - to replace EMD <br />Sushimoto <br />Suzuki <br />Toyota <br />Yamaha <br /> <br />I despise the future for anything anymore!!! We were sold out as a nation, by our politicians, to tird world nations. NAFTA anyone?? CAFTA's next. <br /> <br />I'm just going to watch my train videos and sink back into the days of old - the 50's the 60's ..... when the chrome was still thick and the women were women ... when a team of ALCOs would go racing by with black diesel smoke filling the air and the fuel spilling out all over the gutter ... and there was no such thing as an environmentalist who is an "environmentalist " only because he could never make an honest living nor could he fill a baker's shoes. <br /> <br />Does some minute part of our politicians' concept of a futuristic brave new world involve us coming to a stop in our Hondas/Toyotas at a railroad crossing (signal parts & accessories made in China, Japan, & Taiwan) while waiting for two Sushimotos and a Honda locomotive pulling 100 corrugated aluminum frame fiberglass body railcars made in Taiwan, to come slithering by??? Is this "progress"? <br />
