Actually, Al, the current build ratio is a tossup. The large railroads tend to
support both manufacturers to assure some level of price and design
competition. One year, a 100 loco order might be split 55-45 one way and next
year on a similar order the split could go the other way. On a cumulative
basis I suspect GM is way ahead of GE because for years GE supplied components
to ALCO rather than building its own branded locos. Charles
