Hi all! I'm a new railfan and was wondering why so many trains are pulled by GE locomotives? In reading the posts, there definitely is an EMD vs. GE thing going on. Now I don't know a lot about locomotives, but it seems to me that the railroads are buying a lot more GE than EMD. I live in the East. I have had a chance to talk to some employees -CSX and NS, and they said GE is a better locomotive, pulls more train, is more fuel efficient, and breaks down less than the newer EMDs. It must be true because CSX and NS seem to only be buying GE, but I read this site and everybody here seems to hate GE. What gives?
