You imbecil, the AEM7s were built by EMD.
The GG-1s trucks DID develop cracks, which is inevitable. Had they been built more cheaply, they would have failed sooner. Imagine all the pounding those GG-1s went through.

Not to mention AEM-7s are far lighter, which puts less stress on trucks and rails.
I won't argue that their light weight is an improvement over the GG-1s to an extent.
That said, they are puppied, and many were remanufactured ten years ago, 20 years after the first started to arrive.
They didn't go through anything like the GG-1s did.
Welded rails have been around for a while now, and the NEC has had it for probably 25 years.
Also, you may be confusing the ALP-44s with the AEM-7s.
