The GG1s were excellent, I do not mean to impugn them. However, the AEM7s and ALPs are more than worthy successors for the PRR's electrics.This is why nobody cares about the idiotically designed E-60's, because they were mechanically JUNK from the assembly line. It is worth noting that those were designed and built by Americans at GE, and they were simply misused. The E60CF has given a very good account of itself with the Black Mesa and Lake Powell and Navajo Mine railroads. The E60 simply wasn't a high speed locomotive, but once it ceded that role to the AEM7s and settled into hauling Long Distance services between Philadelphia and DC up to NY it did a decent job. |
