Tez - that's not the way I read the article in TRAINS on EMD's 75th
birthday, featuring the new 265H 6000hp 4-stroker. Sales had dropped, GM had
retreated loco build to GMD London Ontario, then put the whole shebang on
the market. Of course, confidence (and sales) fell further and when no-one
wanted the orphan, GM re-adopted it and put some effort into it.
