If the differences were that great, surely one or the other group of locos wouldn't be used to the extent that they actually are? <br />Maybe it's a case of "horses for courses"? <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Can't agree. It is more a question of economics than quality. The railroads keeping two or more players in the locomotive manufacturing biz helps keep locomotive costs down and other competitive forces keep costs of maintaining the locomotives cheap too. Has a lot more to do with money than which locomotives are truly better or more reliable... <br /> <br />LC
