EMD's hard to overestimate existential bet,since its viability as a first-line manufacturer rests squarely on this engine (which could be be a redesign of the 265H, since a bore of 265mm and a stroke of 300mm yields a 1010 cubic inch displacement.) barring some use of Cat C-175 or C-280's. http://www.railwaygazette.com/news/trac ... otive.html Meanwhile, other potential entrants-at least in the form of manufacturers with limited prior rail offerings are beginning their penetration of the market using higher speed, smaller displacement engines. Cumm http://www.railwaygazette.com/news/trac ... otive.html It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. |

Being ten months late to the Tier 4 product has hurt EMD tremendously, and not just in the railroad industry. There are now almost a year of marine towboat and passenger vessel designs in the EMD engine size range that have been specified mainly around the GE Tier 4 engine packages because EMD did not have a qualifying product. It is going to be a tough climb back. PC |
