EMD has always been bigger, better, and more reliable than GE. at least, ever since GE started making the dash 9.

@MrRgreer Do not need to check "the news" I work in this industry and have for 30 years. Give me any source that proves your point that "CSXT doesn't maintain anything". Just one. Show me any industry stat that backs you up.

@Boss302fan Check the news on CSX. I know quite a bit about this, thats why I said it.

[Boss302fan]

@MrRgreer  With comments like these is it any wonder railroaders do not want you guys on their property. Nothing but negative comments about issues that you know nothing about. CSXT doesn't maintain anything? Huh? They are a profitable railroad moving incredible tonnages over vast distances. And yet people like you write "CSX doesn't maintain anthing". Pathetic.

@SPIRITAIR1 Typical railfan comment. You guys are unbelievable.

@777fuzzypeach Ah, I see it now. Hard to tell at first.

[777fuzzypeach]

@fafnir242 Actually is a brand new ES44DC with the all too typical GE engine fire. Flex fuel lines are not properly torqued, come loose, and spray fuel on the manifold. This is actually a rather small fire of this type. They get MUCH worse.

@isaacoscar1

Moisture sensing automatic drain valve on the main air reservoir. It "spits" when water is detected allowing for drier air for the brakes. Completely normal.
