My friend's dad worked for NYC, PC, CR, and then for NS for a short time before he retired. He complained about the "Junk GE's" constantly later on, he hated the slow loading. He did some yard work sometimes, and would dread seeing the C40-8W's and U boats that he sometimes would get stuck with. He called me up and told me when the last of the old Geeps broke down and was sent to scrap or rebuild for a short line. Sounded like his dog died...I have a bunch of video of one of the last old Geeps working the Stanley yard, CR#7592(?), and another one, maybe it was 7552, can't remember the numbers anymore. I need to transfer that stuff to digital one of these days before the tape gets creaky...<br><br>He liked EMD's better than GE's in general, but he said the SD50's originally were junk, but eventually were ok. He wasn't an Alco fan at all, except for the old RS's and S switchers, he liked them ok, but the thought Alco road units sucked. I remember going inside an old F unit when I was in HS, and what a mess it was, he loved all the old non turbo 567 EMD's, regardless of what model.<br>
