I vote for the GE to win (that's the Conrail loco, right? (because it reminds me of the Conrail Indy route) Or is it the Burlington Northern train that's the GE? ... Or is it the "EMD" thingy?...what is an "EMD" anyway?)I can't tell 1 train from another! I don't know what a C-36 is or anything, lol.
Forgive me. I love trains but I really don't care what they look like(I guess this makes me a moron, fine, I don't care).I am used to seeing CSX trains here (since I live close to Louisville. I think the K&I RR or something). But I can't really tell what they look like.-BeaverMon, AKA Ben-

RE: EMD vs GE Let's get it on!!

Back when EMD's had turbo charged 2 cycle diesel engines, they'd win hands down. Nowadays since EMDs and GEs are just rolling mufflers, Jimi would miss the train entirely because he sure as hell couldn't hear it coming... EMD vs GE Let's get it on! – image 45

EMD!!
EMD has the best locos. The F series, GP38, SD40, FP45/F45, SD70M. Look around and you see more EMD than GE.
