Why are GE locomotives better than EMD?

To quote the former CMO of the railroad I work for. GE's suck. They suck to run, they suck to work on, they suck to ride on. The only thing a GE is good for is being melted down and used to buld an emd. Railroads all over the country run EMD's that are thirty, forty, and fifty years old. Nobody but museums will look at a GE. A railroad near me once leased six GE-8's. They used three to run trains, and the other three for parts to keep the ones running trains going. This is not a joke. They actually leased three spare engines just for parts. Thats how reliable a GE is. <br /> <br />I think anyone who has had a look at the new SD-70ACe will agree that EMD is about to make a huge comeback.
