Well if I may... <br /> <br />Ge's are less expensive... Granted, So is the quality... Its like buying stuff at the sears or at JC penney, or buying somehting at Dollar Tree. Sure the Ties look the same, and are made of 100% polyester, but then after a few wears the dollar tree tie starts to come unraveled, and that flap in the back falls off, then one time you come to wear it and it's in chambles. and theres your JC penney tie, even though you paid 19 more dollars for it, you will have that much more use out of it.. Thats the difference between GE and EMD. Ge will break, fall apart NOT after its first use, but as time goes on, while EMD builds them stronger and more people/weather/anyhting resistant <br /> <br />Thats your difference. <br /> <br />Now as for ALCO, whoever is head of Stop polution or whatever the earth Green group is would have a screming ab-dab fit when they saw the locomotive was bilowing out enough smoke to make smokey the bear angry. Plus the noise pollution those locomtives give of, Makes the dead turn in their grave! Those things are so noisy, they make a Ge sound like a mime. <br /> <br />those are my problems with them Daniel, Althoguth i can honestly say i've never been in an ALCO, i jsut shutter to think of the noise inside the cab.
