What I was trying to point out is that as a design they were very excellent. At 1978, they had served well for 30 years. nThe E60s came and went. The AEM7s did well, the HHPs have come and gone, now we have the Siemens units. b So, the E60s and the HHPs were bothpoor performers which were scrapped after short service lives.A "new" GG1 from newer better alloy steel with modern electronics and IF assembled by a competent builder, we might have gotten both a great performerand a continuation of one of the finest looking enginesever produced IMHO. |
