I have a train Question?
Why do railroads intermix EMD and GE diesel engines on their trains?
The simplified explanation is that the railroads will take whatever power is available to fill horsepower requirements, regardless of whether it's EMD or GE. If a train needs 11,000 horsepower, it may end up with two C40-8's and an SD40-2. Locomotives from various builders have standardized multiple-unit connections which allows them to be mixed.
This wasn't always the case, and it still isn't on all railroads. Early diesels from different builders often had different M-U connections and thus weren't compatible with each other at all.
It's also possible that different locomotives that technically are compatible don't really work well together. I read about a train crew that had trouble starting a train with a GE U33C and an EMD GP38, because the GP38 loaded so much faster that it started slipping before the U33C even got power to the wheels. In that case, even though they were compatible, they didn't work well together, and there have been cases where railroads keep sets of identical locomotives together for smoother running.
Today's EMD and GE units are quite comparable in terms of power and performance, so there's not much of a problem with running them together.
