They will be back there getting er all stretched out coming out of a sag or whatever while a GE on the point will still be deciding what to do. If you waited for a GE to respond you would lose a lot of speed coming back up the other side of the sag. Old heads say they used to have a lot of loading problems when they mixed Alco's with other power not so much GE's.GN599, thanks for the reply!,i guess it's true that the older GE engines load slower than the EMD'S, i was told by another hogger that the newer GE ac units are an improvement over the older dc models,i hope thats true!. thanks again GN 599:-D dash7
GE JUST DON'T MAKE TOASTERS YA KNOW!
