Absolutely.At least GE makes the" head" out of steel.GM makes the "head" in a 420,000 pound locomotive that costs seven figures out of PLASTIC.
If you are on a locomotive where the "inner" door or the back door opens by themselves and/or won't stay shut?I guarrantee you that you are on a EMD unit.And they have figured out how to make the cab cramped with only TWO people in it.
Up untill the advent of the SD-50(early mid-80's-do you sense a theme here?)EMD owned the Locomotive business.They actually made a hot-rod Locomotive(the SD-45).The tables are completely reversed now.As of now-it's completely reversed.Across from the head is bunch of electronic gear.One day i noticed that the gear was made by GE.You suck so bad that you stoop to using your only competitions equipment in YOUR product.
Sorry for the digression-back to our topic
