Hey ronald1...there is a difference alright, but of no consequence. Quick loading is paramount especially if road-switching operations are important. Making a 'drop' for instance demands that an engine with quick pick-up speed be in service. Starting a large train moving with the drone GE engines (junk!) is'nt that much of an issue, as you want a smooth start etc. anyway. But why in h*** do people think there needs to be a difference. Having a great pulling engine with quick loading is always compatible on good engines. Those engineers I know well are shocked at how poor performing the new DASH 9 etc. engines are especially on our 2.2% grade going to Wenatchee from Seattle-Everett! Long live the EMD's...Hommie
