GE can offer so many "perks" because the company is in so many businesses that can benefit railroads. GE can offer such things as: <br /> <br />Freight Cars - GE is one of the large lessors. <br /> <br />Capital loans for Buildings, Track, and anything else they might need. <br /> <br />Lease of Buildings, vehicles, temporary office space and other capital items. <br /> <br />Equipment and Building automation - GE has excellent controls. <br /> <br />Insurance <br /> <br />And there are others. EMD cannot offer these things. GE can offer large packages covering several of these items along with the locomotives. Buying these packages saves the railroad a lot of money.
