The Genesis point got me to thinking- how do you measure popularity?  What I was trying to do was figure out why railroads bought locomotives the way they did.  The only measure I could come up with in terms of popularity was number of units sold.  I am not sure that a government contract- like AMTRAK did for the Genesis- is a really fair example of popularity with buisness executives who want bang for the buck and a product that will meet their needs best.I guess we could rule out the Soviet examples, and the German steamer as well- both examples of government control where you took it or left it.Suggestions?Erik
