Posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Tue Feb 26 11:29:28 2008, in response to Re: LIRR DE/DMS Some reasons why, posted by trainsarefun on Tue Feb 26 10:26:28 2008. EMD was/is a reputable locomotive manufacturer. At the time the DE/DM contract was issued they were in the process of manufacturing the F59PHI (which sorta looks like a DE/DM) which has a fairly good track record with Amtrak and some commuter rail services on the west coast. The emphasis on WHERE these engines were to be built was stupid. Better to have reliable engines built in Wyoming than crap built here in NY state. |
