I have no idea why, jhhtrains. All I know is that GEs are turdwagons. They move the freight, but, they shake like a dog trying to pass carpet tacks. You always find fusees and toilet paper stuffed in different places around the engineer's stand (the t.p. gets stuffed under the auto brake valve, and the fusees get wedged between the side of the console and the wall) to quaff vibrations. We're talking 2003 AC4400s here. Not old junk........new junk. Then you go hop on a MAC and wow..........little vibration, quiet. I can even write without using a clipboard (use a clipboard on the GEs so I can write on my lap......the desk vibrates too bad at 8 throttle). MACs are cadillacs compared to the GE toasters. I even joke with my hoggers when we get a GE with a little age on it if this one has a, "Big Cam," cause they rock and lope a little at idle. I would pay money to see one sling its guts out all over the walkway. Ok, Ok, I'm a little ornery. <br />Ken
