The problem with Amtrak, which I have ridden fairly extensively, is not its locomotives.

The problem is track condition, which higher speeds does not help, and on-time rates, which are atrocious. I’m not sure how shiny new locomotives will help with either of these.

That's cuz this ain't about the trains running on time or improving track conditions. This is yet another bone for GE.....and if it happens it should remove any doubt about how deep in the sheets the Dims are with big, corrupt bidness.....
