[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by jrw249 At a recent BNSF auction for older GE and EMD units, the bidders wanted the EMD units, not the GE units. That says something!!!! [/quote] Ed very good comments. I have talked to a lot of engineers and most of them do not want a GE even close to their consist. For years I have heard about GE 's rough ride, frequent wheel slips and slow loading. jrw The auction does say alot. I have noticed that short lines and regionals do like EMD over GE. Is that because of maintenance costs or acquisition costs or other reasons? It would be interesting to see a comparison between EMD and GE as far as maintenance costs are concerned. That might be hard to come by. I would also like to see how many older GE units are still in operating condition and compare that to like models of EMD units. Food for thought. Now who can feed us?
