  1. Having lived in Muncie for many years it is great to see the old Wastinghouse plant put to great use.

  2. Made in the U.S.A. as it should be in any other industry. Great going, keep the U.S. workforce in full motion. Thank you for such a great article here given.

  3. It really is great to see an American Plant producing Locomotives for both here in the US and to build these GT38ACs and SD70ACEs for Australia, Indonesia, and the United Arab Emirates! Great article and it would be great to see more of this in the future from other locations making American made units!
