EMD had such a commanding market share in the '50s that it's astonishing anyone would want to go head to head with it. GE did, because it saw real vulnerability at EMD, where factory mentality had sent innovators to the retirement home. Railroads wanted more hp per unit; when they started buying GEs 2500 hp locomotive in quantity, this time it was EMD that got it. They rushed the 35 series into production to do battle with GE. The innocent bystander was Alco, squashed underfoot as the giants wrestled for world domination. Total built: 476. Wheelihan says, <i>"Thus started the high horsepower race with a customer driven design backed by GE's first rate engineering and marketing team."</i> - <b>Trains Magazine - October 2002</b>
