There is no arguing with the reliability and availability figures that Sheds have given freight companies which is very impressive. Yes they worked straight out of the unlike the 60s but you have to put this into perspective. The 60 was a completely new design, the 66 was built using proven and off the shelf technology which was readily available so EMD could offer a cheap and affordable loco. Both locos do what they are designed to do, a shed is a jack of all trades and a 60 a heavy freight loco. The US Rail Industry is in a completely different league and can offer cheaper locos than we can in the UK.

If Sterling ends up at parity with the US$ that will change!
