I don't know about any deep pockets, but someone will buy EMD, or GM will keep running it. It isn't going to go away because despite the GE units successes, RRs don't want to be beholden to one monopoly. Don't be surprised if it ends up in the hands of Siemens. After all, a considerable ammount of their tech goes into those SD70MACs. <br /> <br />Also don't be surprised at any of the following: <br />Dennis Washington's ex MK Company <br />Boise Locomotive Works <br />Bombidier <br />Daimler-Chrysler <br />Catepiller <br /> <br />Remember the engines they produce are worth more than loco use. So don't rule out Grumman, who own Gen Dynamics and their Navy shipbuilding assets. <br /> <br />GM is not dumping EMD because it has no profit potential, it's dumping it because it's not their core business.
