"Union Pacific's $5 Billion Merger That Broke American Railroads in [----] September [--] [----]. Union Pacific CEO Dick Davidson stands before cameras to announce the largest railroad merger in American history. Five billion dollars to absorb Southern Pacific. Thirty-six thousand miles of track spanning twenty-five states. Davidson promises "the most efficient railroad in North America." Within twelve months that promise will become the biggest operational disaster in modern railroad history. Forty thousand freight cars stranded across Texas. Chemical plants shutting down for lack of raw materials."

"The Engine That Killed ALCO: The [---] Disaster In [----] the most beautiful diesel locomotive ever built rolled into New York's Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. The ALCO PA-1 dressed in Santa Fe's stunning red and silver warbonnet was supposed to destroy EMD's dominance and restore ALCO to its rightful place as America's premier locomotive builder. Within two years that gorgeous machine was demoted from premier passenger service. Within a decade most PA-1s were scrapped. Within twenty-three years the American Locomotive Companya manufacturer that had built locomotives since 1901closed its doors forever."

The SD90MAC was supposed to cement their dominance for another generation. Union Pacific and Canadian Pacific signed billion-dollar contracts for locomotives powered by the revolutionary 265H enginean engine that didn't even exist yet. What followed was the most catastrophic engineering failure in modern railroad history. The 265H four-stroke engine suffered catastrophic cooling failures crankshaft bearing destruction and reliability problems so severe that"

"Two-Stroke vs Four-Stroke: Why EMD Chose the Wrong Side [----]. General Motors bet everything on a revolutionary two-stroke diesel engine. For sixty years that bet paid off spectacularly. EMD's two-stroke engines dominated American railroads so completely that competitors simply gave up. Then the world changed. Environmental regulations tightened. Fuel efficiency became critical. And the technology that built an empire became the anchor that dragged it under. Today EMD holds roughly 30% of the North American locomotive market. GEusing the four-stroke engines EMD dismissed as inferior for"
