So, comparing the Siemens ALC-42 to the GE P42DC...
- P42DC: 4,200 HP DC powered, 268,000 lbs, slow loading
- ALC-42: 4,200 HP, AC powered, 264,000 lbs, fast loading
A typical long-distance train uses 2 P42DC's, but is there likely a chance that only one ALC-42 can do the job compared to 2 P42DC's?
