LIRR was brand-loyal to EMD becuase the GP-38 and MP15 were great engines.

That's as dumb as liking present-day Chrysler Corp because you liked your father's Slant-6.

LIRR should have electrified to Port Jeff, and bought off the shelf equipment: 60 more M-3's, 20 GE P40's, and about 100 Comet-IV's. Then they wouldn't have had to bother raising platforms out to Greenport or closing all those stations, which got them unnecessary political scars in Glen Street, Southampton (the college station), and Bellport.
