Looks like they're too stupid to realize that a modern Geep would bring them back quickly.Why? Who is buying new-build four axle road switchers? There are so many four axle road switchers out there with frames that can take a bit more pounding that we're going to see rebuilt locomotives filling those roles for decades to come. EMD was not set up as a rebuilder, and that's why the GP15D and GP20D failed. We'll see if CAT's focus on more specialized product lines will yield a change in EMD's priorities from 300+ unit SD70 orders toward smaller, low horsepower rebuild and passenger units. Certainly some of EMD's press releases supporting the Amtrak and high speed rail funding would seem to point toward a reentry into the passenger market. |
