I agree with you that the "american" Trains are more pleasing to our eyes, than "Euro-TGV" type stuff. (at least as railfans are concerned). Now, while you are on the "U.S.A." soapbox, I want you to take a real good close look at the next SD-80, or whatever, you are drooling over. It's been about ten years since any "EMD" locomotive has been built on American soil. These days, it's all done in London, Ontario. Sure, the designs, and technology came from La Grange, Illinois, but "cheaper labor" has taken the actual fabrication north of our border. I'm not going to try to say who really has the better locomotive here, but what I will say, and you can't deny this. At least 500 American families in Erie, Pennsylvania, are sitting down to a good meal, and have plenty of clothes on thier backs because General Electric locomotives are still being built in the good old U.S.A. I'm sorry I can't say the same thing for all the skilled former EMD workers, and their families, left in the cold at La Grange. <br /> Just something to think about next time you get on another "America is great" kick.... <br />
